Simple explanation
By default, Claude Code stops and asks your permission before every action — create a file, run a command, make a change. You sit there clicking yes over and over. Auto mode turns all of that off. Claude Code works through your entire task without interruption. And once one session runs on autopilot, you can open a second session and run a completely different task at the same time.
What to do
Step 1 — Create a GitHub branch first Always do this before auto mode. Auto mode moves fast and makes multiple changes without checking. Your branch means you can undo everything with one click if something goes wrong. Auto mode without a branch is risky. Auto mode with a branch is unstoppable. Step 2 — Turn on auto mode When you start a Claude Code session, type this before your first prompt: "Run in auto mode." That is it. Claude Code will work through your entire task without stopping to ask permission once. Step 3 — Start a second session (multi-clauding) Once session one is running, open a second Claude Code window and start a completely different task. Session 1 builds your contact form. Session 2 writes your privacy policy page. Both running at the same time. Neither waiting for you. The full workflow: — Open GitHub Desktop — create a branch — Open Claude Code — type "run in auto mode" — Give it your task — Open a second Claude Code window — Start a second task — Come back to two finished results instead of one You are no longer waiting for AI. AI is working while you work.
Copy-paste prompt
Run in auto mode. Here is what I need you to build: [describe your task]. Work through the entire task without stopping to ask for permission. If you are unsure about anything, make the most reasonable choice and continue.
Course note
Key takeaway
Always branch first. Then run auto mode. Then open a second session. That is how you build twice as fast.
