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:
- prompt
- plan/proposal
- risk visibility
- approval
- execution
- verification
- summary/review
For multi-step work, repeat until completion or bounded stop conditions.
Practical Usage Pattern
- Start with
/plan <task>for non-trivial work. - Keep
/autonomy guardedor/autonomy strict_reviewfor production-sensitive environments. - Use
/tokenmode saverfor long sessions. - Keep relevant files attached with
/file. - Use
/exportfor audit/report artifacts.
