Being minimalist is real power these days as everything around us keeps shoving features in our face every week with a million tricks and gimmicks to learn. Something minimalist like this is honestly a breath of fresh air!

The YOLO mode is also good, but having a small ‘baby setting mode’ that’s not full-blown system access would make sense for basic security. Just a sensible layer of "pls don't blow my machine" without killing the freedom :)

Pi supports restricting the set of tools given to an agent. For example, one of the examples in pi --help is:

    # Read-only mode (no file modifications possible)
    pi --tools read,grep,find,ls -p "Review the code in src/"

Otherwise, "yolo mode" inside a sandbox is perfectly reasonable. A basic bubblewrap configuration can expose read-only system tools and have a read/write project directory while hiding sensitive information like API keys and other home-directory files.
