The core differencelies in enforcing authority control:
- Normal mode requires manual confirmation of each potentially risky operation (e.g., file modification)
- YOLO mode (Ctrl+Y toggle) automatically approves all operations, greatly improving efficiency
Main risksIncluded:
- misuse: AI may misinterpret ambiguous instructions (e.g., executing "clean logs" as deleting critical files)
- irreversible loss: Delete/overwrite operations take immediate effect
- diffusion of authority: Possible execution of high-privileged shell commands
It is recommended to enable it in small projects with clearly defined task scope and with track logging for recovery. For critical production environments, it is safer to remain in normal mode.
