+### Select a classifier model
+
+By default, the Auto classifier uses the same model as the main agent. You can point it at a different (typically cheaper and faster) model to reduce cost and latency during Auto review.
+
+Set the classifier model through any of these source:

+<Tabs>
+    <Tab title="TUI command">
+        Run `/auto model` to open the interactive model picker and select a classifier model for the current session. To specify a model directly, pass it as an argument:
+
+        ```txt
+        /auto model openai:gpt-5.6-luna
+        /auto model clear
+        ```

+        dcode -y --auto-classifier-model openai:gpt-5.6-luna
+        ```
+
+        `--auto-classifier-model` is only accepted in interactive TUI sessions.

+        ```
+
+        <Warning>
+            A **project `.env`** cannot set `DEEPAGENTS_CODE_AUTO_CLASSIFIER_MODEL`. Only shell exports, `~/.deepagents/.env`, the CLI flag, and `/auto model` work.

+    1. **`/auto model` TUI command**: takes effect immediately for the current session.
+    2. **`--auto-classifier-model` flag**: sets the classifier on launch (interactive TUI sessions only).
+    3. **`DEEPAGENTS_CODE_AUTO_CLASSIFIER_MODEL` environment variable**: applies at startup.
+    4. **`[models].auto_classifier` in `config.toml`**: your persistent default.
+    5. **Inherit**: uses the main agent model (the default when nothing is configured).
+
+    A blank value at any level means "inherit from the next source". For example, an unset env var falls through to `config.toml`.
+</Accordion>
+
+The TUI displays which model is reviewing when Auto turns on and inside `/auto model` output.

 ### Revalidate before side effects
 
 The decision plan is bound to the thread, mode, batch, and exact gated calls. Missing or invalid state, a mode race, or a replay falls back to human review. For example, if you switch to Manual while classifier review is in progress, an earlier Auto decision cannot execute silently; the normal approval UI opens instead.

 `[models].default` always takes priority over `[models].recent`. The `/model` command only writes to `[models].recent`, so your configured default is never overwritten by mid-session switches. To remove the default, use `/model --default --clear` or delete the `default` key from the config file.
 
+`[models].auto_classifier` sets the model used by the [Auto approval classifier](/oss/deepagents/code/approval-modes#select-a-classifier-model) to review gated tool calls. When unset, the classifier inherits the main agent model. You can override this at runtime with `--auto-classifier-model` or `/auto model`. See [Select a classifier model](/oss/deepagents/code/approval-modes#select-a-classifier-model) for full precedence and security notes.
