Jun 2025 / 48,218 views / [via X](https://x.com/iannuttall/status/1936130104490340800)

Want to run Claude Code in yolo mode but don't want it to potentially cripple your system? Easy 🔥

Install Docker to run it in a sandbox w/ this script:

```
curl -sSL https://gist.github.com/iannuttall/da878e583f39029a121727ce83174f82/raw/safe-yolo.sh | bash
```

Script below:

The script:

\- builds Anthropic's official secure docker container
\- creates a "yolo" command to run docker + \`claude --dangerously-skip-permissions\`
\- mounts your current folder when you run yolo
