Operate YeePilot efficiently in the TUI with plan mode, autonomy controls, slash commands, and command review flow.

Last updated: March 1, 2026

Launch

bash
yeepilot run

(or simply yeepilot)

Interaction Model

You describe a goal. YeePilot analyzes context, proposes actions/commands, and asks for approval based on your active security/autonomy settings.

Essential Slash Commands

Planning and autonomy

  • /plan on|off|status
  • /plan <task>
  • /autonomy status|high|guarded|strict_review|ultra

Reasoning and tokens

  • /think on|off|low|medium|high
  • /tokenmode normal|saver

Safety and execution

  • /mode strict|moderate|permissive
  • /sandbox on|off|status|net|nonet

Session management

  • /new
  • /rename <name>
  • /sessions
  • /history
  • /history search <query>
  • /status
  • /context
  • /clear
  • /copy
  • /export

File context and live output

  • /file <path>
  • /files
  • /unfile <path>
  • /upload
  • /livestream [on|off|status|scope <all|files|off>]
  • /sidecar

Vault and secure access

  • /vault ...
  • /unlock [method]
  • /lock
  • /connect <entry>
  • /portable export|import <bundle.ypbundle>

UI/help

  • /model
  • /setup
  • /language
  • /theme
  • /keybinds
  • /help
  • /exit

Note: /agent still works as a legacy alias, but default runtime is already agent mode.

Approval Flow

Typical cycle:

  1. prompt
  2. plan/proposal
  3. risk visibility
  4. approval
  5. execution
  6. verification
  7. summary/review

For multi-step work, repeat until completion or bounded stop conditions.

Practical Usage Pattern

  1. Start with /plan <task> for non-trivial work.
  2. Keep /autonomy guarded or /autonomy strict_review for production-sensitive environments.
  3. Use /tokenmode saver for long sessions.
  4. Keep relevant files attached with /file.
  5. Use /export for audit/report artifacts.
