In YOLO mode (Ctrl+Y toggle), Pywen skips all operation confirmation steps and directly executes commands, which can significantly improve efficiency when dealing with repetitive tasks. However, this mode eliminates the safety guardrail, which may lead to destructive operations when the AI misinterprets the commands, such as accidentally deleting important files or incorrectly modifying the code. It is officially recommended to enable this mode only when the task objective is clear and the environment is controlled, and it is recommended to keep the default interaction confirmation mode for safety during regular development.
