yolo-cage: autonomous coding agents that do no harm
You're a responsible engineer. You'd never just let an AI run roughshod through your most sensitive systems and codebases.
That's why you'd never just shut off the safeguards for a tool like Claude Code. It asks permission for every dangerous action! Safe!

Permission prompts neglect the weakest part of the thread model: a tired user. What if we could empower the agent while limiting its blast radius, thus deferring your decisions until PR review?
That would be great! And that would be yolo-cage.
Try it
curl -fsSL https://github.com/borenstein/yolo-cage/releases/latest/download/yolo-cage -o yolo-cage chmod +x yolo-cage && sudo mv yolo-cage /usr/local/bin/ yolo-cage build --interactive --up
Then create a sandbox and start coding:
yolo-cage create feature-branch yolo-cage attach feature-branch # Claude in tmux, YOLO mode
