Autonomy is set for each area, by its owner
The modes work like the permission modes of a coding agent such as Claude Code, with allow and deny rules on top.
- Observe
Loom reports what it sees. Nothing changes.
- Suggest default
Loom drafts changes. A person approves each one.
- Auto with guardrails
Routine changes merge when every check passes. Anything else waits for a person.
- Full
Changes merge when the required checks pass, with no review: the owner accepts that risk in writing. Any person can revert a change with one click afterwards.
