Feature Request: Add YOLO Mode for skipping permission prompts #51

Description

Summary

Add a "YOLO Mode" option to the Claude Terminal session picker that launches Claude with --dangerously-skip-permissions for power users who want to skip all confirmation prompts.

Use Case

Power users who understand the risks and want maximum efficiency when working with Claude may prefer to skip all permission prompts. This is particularly useful for:

  • Automated workflows
  • Trusted development environments
  • Users who prefer to review changes after the fact

Proposed Implementation

  1. Add option 8 to the session picker menu with a visual separator to distinguish it from standard options
  2. Display a clear warning screen explaining the risks
  3. Require the user to type "YOLO" to confirm they understand the risks
  4. Provide a sub-menu to choose session type (New/Continue/Resume)
  5. Set IS_SANDBOX=1 environment variable for tracking
  6. Launch Claude with --dangerously-skip-permissions flag

Safety Considerations

  • Clear warning displayed before activation
  • Explicit confirmation required (must type "YOLO")
  • Visual separation in menu to prevent accidental selection
  • Environment variable set for audit/tracking purposes
