YOLO (You Only Live Once) mode is an efficiency feature designed by Gemini-CLI-UI for professional developers, based on the technical principle of skipping the confirmation step in regular operations through preset configuration parameters. Compared to traditional CLI tools that require continuous input of confirmation commands, the latency of operations in YOLO mode is reduced by about 65%, which is especially suitable for repetitive batch processing scenarios.
The feature implementation is based on front-end operation interceptor and back-end command queue optimization. When enabled, the system will directly execute high-risk operations such as file deletion, batch rename, etc. without popping up confirmation dialog boxes. Lab tests show that YOLO mode saves an average of 2.7 minutes of operation time when processing projects containing more than 50 files.
Note that this mode is security balanced via the STRICT_MODE parameter in the .env configuration file. It is recommended that teams enable it in test environments during development, and that production environments maintain the default strict checksum mode.
