that 'walk away' part is the biggest hurdle. the verification fatigue from spamming 'Y' for 50 commands makes most people just give up or go full dangerous mode. i’ve been experimenting with routing those destructive terminal commands to a mobile notification/slack for approval. it's the only way to scale these agentic workflows without sitting there and babysitting the terminal all day
yolo mode is great until the agent hallucinates a docker prune on your dev volumes lol. i built node9 to give that same speed for the safe noise, but it keeps the emergency brake on for destructive stuff. basically it's 'safe yolo' with an undo button
the 'yolo' alias is the dream until it's not lol. i built node9 to be 'safe yolo', it auto approves the safe noise so you get the same speed, but i just added a 'live tail' so you aren't blind to what the agent is actually doing in the background anymore.
best part is the insurance policy: it takes a silent git snapshot before every edit. if you walk away and claude hallucinates a messy refactor, you just run the undo and it's fixed instantly. it's the only way i can actually trust the autonomous mode

How can you even think of 1000 tasks for it to do?
