By default, Antigravity protects your system by pausing and prompting for confirmation before running bash commands or modifying files.

## "YOLO" Mode: Auto-Approve Everything

To run without any interactive confirmation prompts:

```bash
agy --dangerously-skip-permissions
```

### Convenient Shell Aliases
Add to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:

```bash
# Shortcut for full auto-approval
alias yolo="agy --dangerously-skip-permissions"

# Or if you want agy to always auto-approve:
# alias agy="agy --dangerously-skip-permissions"
```
Reload your shell with `source ~/.bashrc`.

---

## Granular Whitelisting in `settings.json`

If you want to auto-approve safe operations while preserving prompts for sensitive actions, define rules in `~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "command(git status)",
      "command(git diff)",
      "command(npm test)",
      "read_file(*)"
    ],
    "deny": [
      "command(rm -rf *)",
      "command(drop database*)"
    ]
  }
}
```

* **`allow`**: Runs matching commands immediately without prompting.
* **`deny`**: Hard-blocks matching commands from running.
