Feature Request
Add --yolo as a shorthand alias for --dangerously-skip-permissions.
Motivation
--dangerously-skip-permissions is 30 characters long. While the verbose name serves as a good warning for first-time users, frequent users who understand the risks would benefit from a shorter alias.
Typing claude --yolo is much more ergonomic than claude --dangerously-skip-permissions — especially when you're doing it multiple times a day.
Proposed behavior
# These would be equivalent:
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
claude --yolo
--yolo would behave identically to --dangerously-skip-permissions in every way — same warnings, same behavior, same logging.
Alternatives considered
- Shell aliases work but aren't portable across machines or shareable with teams
--skip-permissionswas considered but loses the "you should think twice" energy that--yolopreserves honestly
