Claude Duet's published stop rules show approval fatigue is the hard part of proactive agents
Original title: Approval fatigue is the hard part of agents that work while you're away. What Claude Duet's published stop rules show
Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet this month, an agent that keeps working while you're away and asks approval before sending messages, paying, signing, or deleting; securities trading and moving money are off-limits even with approval, and payments never fall under a "don't ask me again" rule. The author notes Anthropic calls approval fatigue a serious issue that trains people to tap through, and reminds readers this is Anthropic's own description, not an independent test.
The post focuses on Anthropic's published stop rules rather than the feature list, offering a reusable way to evaluate proactive agents by asking what they do without asking.
