Modes
The mode applies to Claude, Codex and Antigravity at once and shows in the prompt
(ai [auto · plan] ›). Each session keeps its own.
| Mode | What it does | Claude | Codex | Antigravity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
default |
Each tool's default | — | — | — |
plan |
Reads and plans only, changes nothing | plan |
--sandbox read-only |
--mode plan |
edits |
Accepts file edits | acceptEdits |
--sandbox workspace-write |
--mode accept-edits |
auto |
Acts on its own, with the tool's safeguards | auto |
workspace-write, no approval |
--mode auto |
yolo |
No permissions or sandbox | bypassPermissions |
--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox |
--dangerously-skip-permissions |
/mode yolo asks for confirmation, because the AI can then delete files and run any
command. Outside the chat: ai --mode plan "question". /parallel always runs in plan.
