Am I the only person who just runs claude code in yolo mode? Curious about these tools for fine-grained permission, did you get burned in a bad way? I think I'm going to trigger half of hacker news with this, but honestly nothing claude does on my machine seems particularly scary, and it's way too far from AGI for me to worry about hostile takeover right now =P

Honest question: What could it do to your machine if it went crazy? I've not used Claude Code yet.

A simple and very plausible example is deciding to run an innocent `find -delete` intended for a particular directory (to clean up temporary files, perhaps) but being confused about what the current directory is.

Today I added --mode plan (along with config option). Nice thing about "owning" my own wrapper is I can invent my own features.

Note: in case you missed it Anthropic added plan mode that you toggle interactively. One of the best additions to CC. So I've only added the ability to start CC in plan mode.

Yeah, what is plan mode?

How are fine grained permissions changed? Is it just modding a known claude configuration file?

No, the "automatic dismissal" effectively scrapes the terminal and parses out info from the dialog.

Nice. So is this resilient to changes in the interface from updates? Seems they release 1-2 updates a day, maybe more?

For anyone curious, it's a read-only mode that reads your code and formulates a plan without writing any new code or changing anything.

As a heavy Claude user, I’ve seen many examples of what it will produce as a README, and they all look exactly like this. It definitely could use some editing!

I love Claude Code but I am extremely sick of slop readmes. Every time I notice I'm reading LLM output as a readme I feel punched in the gut. I didn't notice it with this project though.

I updated it a lot. First I had claude put it on a diet (get rid of 50% of the text) and then some manual editing. I'm a convert in hating LLM readme output. DIE DIE DIE :)

Not at all resilient. It caches a copy of the whatever the current claude is in case of emergency but yeah, get ready to go live without a net if you use this :)

Personally yes I do run it in yolo mode. And I think, to the extent anyone will use this project, people mostly won't be using the fine grained control. For me toolsets and full yolo are what is useful in this project. I think the real use cases are something like: 1. Try cautious mode, gain confidence, switch to yolo 2. Use yolo mode and find that it keeps doing something that annoys or scares you so you configure a…

I think if I end up not finding a real person (or myself) using them I'll ax it. It would take some heft off the project. Maybe just yolo OR cautious and call it day.
