--dangerously-skip-permissions is a bit of a mouthful, so I’m going to use its better name, “YOLO mode”, for the rest of this presentation.
Claude Code running in this mode genuinely feels like a completely different product from regular, default Claude Code.
The default mode requires you to pay constant attention to it, tracking everything it does and actively approving changes and actions every few steps.
In YOLO mode you can leave Claude alone to solve all manner of hairy problems while you go and do something else entirely.
I have a suspicion that many people who don’t appreciate the value of coding agents have never experienced YOLO mode in all of its glory.
I’ll show you three projects I completed with YOLO mode in just the past 48 hours.
