It absolutely has auto mode.

agy cli does not have auto mode. I've tried and tried and tried to work with agy cli sandbox-mode and just failed.

  agy --dangerously-skip-permissions

in my experience is the only workable solution that doesn't ask confirmation for every step. And I hate working in YOLO mode. Seemingly the Antigravity GUI had some features added in a recent release, but a) I don't want to work with the GUI and b) it was poorly implemented as I couldn't get it to work. VS Code plugins are allowed with subscriptions, but is not the CLI experience of Claude Code I want.

gemini-cli supported 'pre-write diff tabs' (y/n) in external editors like vscode. In Claude Code I heavily use 'pre-write diff tabs' for documentation and miss it sincerely in agy cli.

IMHO Gemini 3.8 flash is fast and good enough, but the agy-suite is below par to say it nice. Someone else in this thread calls agy a terrible harness which is probably more accurate.

PSA, in the agy ui there is a button. It was very annoying until i set it. Slight downside- if I ask it to write a planning doc it will write the doc and then implement it without asking. but as long as you know that, no problem....

do you mean?

  accept-edits

also available with shift-tab in agy cli [0]. That is not related to executing commands, only to allowing agy edit files. Unless you set Turbo-mode == yolo-mode, agy gui prompts a zillion times too.

With 'some features added' I'm referencing this but don't see change in daily work (still many prompts making getting-work-done impossible): v2.14.0 (September 15, 2026) "New Permissions System" [1]

Details: Introduced the new unified permissions system, presets (Default, Request Review, Turbo), syntax-highlighted permission requests, and restructured the settings under Global Permissions and project-level Inherit Global.

have you had any experiences where the agent just made unintended edits to the code as you tried to make it run auto? cuz I'm always skeptical about letting it go auto but there's not much I can do when it gets repetitive

I think it only has "--dangerously-skip-permissions" Claude and codex auto mode will reject certain actions. No secondary check on gemini/agy AFAIK

Via cli switch, but in process w/o fine graining? If so please tell

Auto mode means that another model reviews tool calls to attempt to disallow less safe ones. It's different from bypass permissions mode which typically just doesn't filter at all.
