Yolo mode
Let the commander land a finished, verified mission right away instead of asking you first.
By default the commander asks before it lands a finished mission: it tells you what the soldier did and waits for your yes. Yolo mode is a per-project setting that removes that one question. With yolo on, the commander lands a finished, verified mission with vx land and strikes its camp in the same turn, without asking.
Turn it on
vx yolo onvx yolo off
vx yolo statusstatus prints on or off and exits 0. A project starts with yolo off, and with no argument vx yolo prints the state like status does. on needs a project prepared with vx init. vx doctor reports yolo mode - on or yolo mode - off for the project. See vx yolo.
The setting is stored in .vexillum/yolo.json, next to models.json, and it is committed with the project like that file. vx land refuses a dirty checkout, so commit the file right after you change it. If you turn yolo on and the first land is refused, an uncommitted .vexillum/yolo.json may be the reason. See Files.
What it does
When a mission finishes done, the commander checks vx yolo status and, if it prints on, it:
- reads what the mission did and checks that it matches what you asked for;
- runs
vx land <task-id>; - confirms the base branch actually moved;
- strikes the camp and tells you the mission landed.
You still get the report of what was done. You only lose the question before the merge.
What it never does
Yolo skips the land approval and nothing else.
- It never lands a scout. A scout has nothing to land.
- It never runs
vx ship. Opening a real pull request stays your decision. See Land vs ship. - It never pushes anything.
- It never works around a refused or diverged land. If
vx landrefuses, because the checkout is dirty or the branch has diverged from the base, the commander tells you instead of retrying, rebasing or committing on its own. - It never discards work.
vx strike --discardstill needs your explicit yes. - It never lands a mission that finished blocked, failed or interrupted.
Landing is the safety control
Soldiers run with full access to your machine, and landing is the point where their work reaches your real history. With yolo on, you review after the fact instead of before. Turn it on for projects where that trade is acceptable, and use vx yolo off when it is not.
The behavior lives in the vexillum skill the commander reads, not in the AGENTS.md block. See Skills.
