[DOCS] Auto mode configuration guide missing `claude auto-mode reset`
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-config
Section/Topic
“Inspect the defaults and your effective config” and the claude auto-mode command reference.
Current Documentation
The guide currently says:
“Three CLI subcommands help you inspect and validate your configuration.”
It documents claude auto-mode defaults, claude auto-mode config, and claude auto-mode critique, but there is no reset command in the command examples or surrounding explanation.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Claude Code 2.1.212 adds claude auto-mode reset, which restores the default auto-mode configuration. The command has a confirmation prompt and accepts --yes to skip that prompt. The configuration reference does not mention the command, what it resets, or how the confirmation behaves.
Administrators and developers who experiment with custom auto-mode rules have no documented recovery path for returning to the built-in configuration. They may incorrectly edit settings by hand or assume that defaults changes the active configuration.
Suggested Improvement
Add claude auto-mode reset to the command reference with examples such as:
claude auto-mode reset
claude auto-mode reset --yes
Explain that defaults only prints the built-in rules, while reset restores the default auto-mode configuration, and document the confirmation prompt and the non-interactive --yes option.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
