I'm assuming this happens to the people vibe coding and running 30+ agents in parallel that are "coordinating" each other. I've never seen Claude do or even suggest anything remotely dangerous when I'm just giving it incremental tasks and reviewing the output.

  Whatever level of safety you are at, it's always easy to advocate for more. It's always a trade-off and in the end a matter of preference and risk-tolerance.

  I don't use yolo mode but if you allow your agents to both write code and run/test it, then it's basically equivalent to running in yolo mode anyway. The other day I caught Claude including a rm -rf equivalent (fs.rmdir({ recursive: true, force: true })) in my code, to clean up temporary directories. It was fine, but that kind of code is only one misconfigured environment variable away from blasting away your $HOME.

    I've set up a second user on my machine just for running AI. That way I have the additional layer of OS protections against it doing something like that.

  I run in auto permission mode and it will run with 1 task and end to completion. On the rare event it needs to rmdir or rm -r a dir, the permission mode will stop the agent. Sometimes annoyingly... so its more like. "I've never had a bullet hit me yet inside a office building on the 42nd floor".
