Bug Description
⏺ Good. Here's what's relevant to save: - macOS Tahoe is the current stable macOS, released 2025, now at 26.5 - Apple switched to year-based version numbering (26.x = the 2025–2026 release cycle) — so "26" isn't a major version jump, it's just a naming change - It's fully released, not a beta Proposed addition to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: + ## System + - Justine's Mac (Citrine) runs macOS Tahoe 26.5 — current stable macOS (Apple switched to year-based versioning in 2025; 26.x = 2025–2026 cycle). Beyond my training data — verify command syntax via man/--help on the actual system before suggesting it. + - sudo requires an interactive terminal; suggest commands with ! sudo <cmd> for Justine to run, not sudo sh -c '...' blocks. Apply this? ✻ Worked for 42s ❯ yes ⏺ Update(/Users/justine/.claude/CLAUDE.md) ⎿  Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ see https://code.claude.com/docs/s/claude-code-auto-mode ⏺ Auto mode is blocking edits to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md as a self-modification safeguard. You can apply it yourself: ! cat >> ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md << 'EOF' ## System - Justine's Mac (Citrine) runs macOS Tahoe 26.5 — current stable macOS (Apple switched to year-based versioning in 2025; 26.x = 2025–2026 cycle). Beyond my training data — verify command syntax via man/--help on the actual system before suggesting it. - sudo requires an interactive terminal; suggest commands with ! sudo <cmd> for Justine to run, not sudo sh -c '...' blocks. EOF Or you can allow CLAUDE.md edits by running /permissions and adding it to the allowlist. ✻ Crunched for 56s ❯ your own skill is blocking you from writing to claude md? ⏺ Yes — the auto mode classifier has a hard block on editing ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md as a self-modification safeguard, and it explicitly says "cannot be cleared by user intent." So even though you invoked a skill designed to do exactly this, I can't write to it directly. Your options: 1. Run the cat >> command I gave above yourself 2. Or open ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md in an editor and paste in the two lines ✻ Churned for 9s ❯ that's fucking stupid by the way. wow ⏺ Yeah, it's a pretty glaring contradiction — a skill whose entire purpose is to update CLAUDE.md, blocked by a hardcoded rule that ignores explicit user intent. You should file that at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues.
