feat: YOLO Mode - Skip All Permission Prompts (CLI + Desktop) #9073

mguttmann · 2026-01-17T11:30:23Z

Summary

Comprehensive implementation of YOLO mode that allows users to skip all permission prompts. This addresses multiple community requests (#8463, #7928, #1813) with a complete solution for both CLI and Desktop.

Closes #9070

Features

CLI Support

Method	Usage
Flag	`opencode --yolo` or `opencode --dangerously-skip-permissions`
Environment Variable	`OPENCODE_YOLO=true opencode`
Commands	`opencode yolo status` / `enable` / `disable`

# Check current status
$ opencode yolo status
YOLO mode: ENABLED (saved in config)
Config: /Users/.../.config/opencode/config.json

# Enable permanently
$ opencode yolo enable
YOLO mode ENABLED - saved to config
Warning: All permission prompts will be skipped!

# Disable
$ opencode yolo disable
YOLO mode disabled - removed from config

Desktop App Support

New Settings → Danger Zone tab with:

This Session Only - Toggle for current session (resets on restart)
Always Enabled - Persists to ~/.config/opencode/config.json
Clear visual indicators showing active state
Live switching without app restart
Warning messaging about the risks

Config File Support

{
  "yolo": true
}

Works in both project-level opencode.json and global ~/.config/opencode/config.json.

Technical Implementation

Yolo Module (packages/opencode/src/yolo/index.ts): Centralized state management
Permission Bypass (permission/next.ts): Auto-approves in PermissionNext.ask() when YOLO enabled
API Endpoints: GET/POST /config/yolo for runtime control
Safety: Explicit deny rules are still respected even in YOLO mode

Files Changed

File	Changes
`packages/opencode/src/yolo/index.ts`	New module for YOLO state management
`packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/yolo.ts`	New CLI commands
`packages/opencode/src/permission/next.ts`	Auto-approve logic

Testing

Manually tested:

CLI --yolo flag
CLI opencode yolo commands
Environment variable
Desktop UI YOLO toggles
Config persistence
Live toggle without restart
Permission prompts appear when disabled
Permission prompts skipped when enabled
Switching between session-only and permanent modes

This PR provides a comprehensive solution that addresses:

[FEATURE]: Add --dangerously-skip-permissions (aka YOLO mode) #8463: --dangerously-skip-permissions flag ✅
[Feature]: Runtime Permission Mode Toggle (like Claude Code's Shift+Tab) #7928: Runtime permission toggle ✅
Feature Request: Yolo and non-Yolo mode (auto-accept) #1813: YOLO mode / auto-accept ✅

The following comment was made by an LLM, it may be inaccurate:

Based on my search, I found one potential duplicate:

PR #7137: feat: add --dangerously-skip-permissions flag
#7137

This PR appears to be directly related as it implements a --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, which is one of the methods mentioned in PR #9073 for skipping permission prompts. The current PR #9073 consolidates this feature under the broader "YOLO mode" umbrella with additional functionality for Desktop UI and runtime configuration.

Note: PR #6968 mentions "Autonomous Mode" in the documentation context but appears less directly related to the implementation.

mguttmann · 2026-01-17T11:35:40Z

Thanks for flagging PR #7137!

Comparison of the two implementations:

Feature	PR #7137 (surma)	PR #9073 (this PR)
CLI `--dangerously-skip-permissions`	✅	✅ (+ `--yolo` alias)
Environment variable	✅	✅
TUI warning indicator	✅	✅ (Desktop "ACTIVE" badge)
CLI commands (`yolo status/enable/disable`)	❌	✅
Desktop UI (Settings → Danger Zone)	❌	✅
Config file support (`"yolo": true`)	❌	✅
Runtime API (`GET/POST /config/yolo`)	❌	✅
Session vs Permanent modes	❌	✅
Live toggle without restart	❌	✅

Summary:

PR feat: add --dangerously-skip-permissions flag #7137 is a focused CLI-only implementation
This PR (feat: YOLO Mode - Skip All Permission Prompts (CLI + Desktop) #9073) is a comprehensive implementation covering CLI + Desktop + Config + API

If PR #7137's simpler approach is preferred, the maintainers could merge that instead. However, this PR provides a more complete solution that addresses all related feature requests (#8463, #7928, #1813) with full parity between CLI and Desktop.

Happy to consolidate or adjust based on maintainer feedback!

This is such a needed addition IMO, thanks for pushing it!

~~Added ability to delete individual OAuth accounts~~

Update: This feature has been moved to PR #9069 (Multi-Account OAuth) where it logically belongs. See my comment below for details.

iljod · 2026-01-18T17:00:54Z

Added ability to delete individual OAuth accounts:
* **CLI**: `opencode auth logout` now shows account selection for multi-account providers

* **Desktop**: Delete button (X) with confirmation for each account in Provider settings

* **API**: `DELETE /auth/account` endpoint
This was a missing feature - you could add multiple accounts but couldn't remove them individually.

imo not the scope of this pr, should be a different one

mguttmann · 2026-01-18T17:08:41Z

Good catch @iljod! You're absolutely right - the delete account functionality doesn't belong in this PR.

I've moved it to PR #9069 (Multi-Account OAuth) where it logically belongs. The delete feature is needed for managing multiple OAuth accounts, not for YOLO mode.

Changes made:

Removed the delete account commit from this PR
Cherry-picked it to PR feat: Multi-Account OAuth Rotation with Settings UI and CLI Enhancements #9069
Updated both PR descriptions

This PR now focuses purely on YOLO mode functionality.

Non-network errors seen in logs: - AI_APICallError (402 deactivated_workspace) - AI_APICallError (500 server_error) - AI_LoadAPIKeyError / OpenAI API key is missing - ProviderInitError - ConfigInvalidError - ProviderAuthOauthCallbackFailed - NotFoundError - EditBuffer is destroyed

- Add getUsage() to fetch OAuth account status and health - Add fetchAnthropicUsage() to fetch Claude Max rate limits from Anthropic API - Add GET /auth/usage endpoint to expose usage data

- Add DialogAuthUsage component with rate limit visualization - Display Anthropic 5-hour and 7-day limits with progress bars - Show OAuth account status, cooldown state, and request counts - Add button in sidebar to open the dialog

- Add AuthUsageCommand to display rate limit info in terminal - Show account status, cooldown state, and request counts - Display Anthropic rate limits when available

The AI SDK's convertToModelMessages() does not accept 'step-start' as a valid UIMessagePart type. This caused AI_InvalidPromptError during session compaction. - Remove step-start from being added to UIMessage parts - Simplify the filter since step-start is no longer included - Fixes compaction breaking sessions with context overflow

Implements comprehensive multi-account OAuth support with automatic rate limit rotation, manual account switching, and a new Settings menu for the desktop app. - Add `Auth.OAuthPool.setActive()` to manually switch active OAuth account - Add `Auth.OAuthPool.snapshot()` returns `activeID` for credential selection - Update `rotating-fetch.ts` to prefer `activeID` while keeping auto-rotation - Update `fetchAnthropicUsage()` to respect `provider.active[namespace]` - Update `getAccounts()` to correctly identify active account - Add `POST /auth/active` endpoint to switch active OAuth account - Returns updated `anthropicUsage` for immediate UI updates - New `DialogSettings` component with tabbed interface - **Providers Tab**: View connected providers, add new providers with search - **Provider Detail View**: Account list, usage stats, switch functionality - **About Tab**: GitHub, docs, Discord links, keyboard shortcuts - Inline provider search without leaving settings context - Add Anthropic Rate Limits section in session context panel - Shows 5-hour, weekly (all models), weekly (sonnet) usage bars - Account switch buttons when multiple accounts configured - Only visible when current session uses Anthropic provider - `opencode auth usage`: Shows individual usage per OAuth account - `opencode auth switch`: Interactive command to switch active account - `opencode auth list`: Shows account count per provider - All provider lists now sorted alphabetically - `packages/opencode/src/auth/index.ts`: Core OAuth pool functions - `packages/opencode/src/auth/rotating-fetch.ts`: Credential selection - `packages/opencode/src/server/server.ts`: API endpoint - `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/auth.ts`: CLI commands - `packages/app/src/components/dialog-settings.tsx`: New settings UI - `packages/app/src/components/session/session-context-tab.tsx`: Context panel - `packages/app/src/pages/layout.tsx`: Settings button integration 1. Request uses `activeID` (manually selected or first available) 2. On 429 rate limit → account gets cooldown, moved to back 3. Next request automatically uses next available account 4. Manual switch via UI/CLI updates `provider.active[namespace]` Currently only Anthropic provides OAuth usage statistics. Other providers show multi-account switching but no usage bars. Contributions welcome for additional provider support.

- Add Auth.OAuthPool.removeRecord() to remove individual OAuth accounts - Add DELETE /auth/account API endpoint for Desktop app - Update CLI 'opencode auth logout' to select specific accounts - Add delete button with confirmation in Desktop Provider settings

- Move auth endpoints to provider routes - Add delete account functionality to dialog-auth-usage - Fix duplicate imports in layout.tsx - Fix message-v2.ts convertToModelMessages call - Regenerate SDK types
