Episode notes
Install Local Cloud Code Docs
- Install Cloud Code Docs locally so Claude can read up-to-date documentation without slow web fetches.
- Use the docs slash command to point Claude at your local copy for faster, deeper answers.
Use YOLO Mode Safely
- Use the dangerously-skip-permissions flag (YOLO mode) only in sandboxed VMs or isolated environments.
- Prefer snapshots and isolation to avoid accidental file or tool changes on your main machine.
Sandboxed VM For YOLO Mode
- Eric runs Cloud Code in a separate VM with snapshots so he can safely enable dangerous permissions.
- He rarely had issues but still uses sandboxing to avoid accidental edits on his main machine.
