Hermes adds rollback checkpoints and a Yolo mode for destructive coding agents

- The thread argues that a coding agent needs rollback and approval controls because it can destroy codebases in seconds.
- It explains Hermes’ checkpoint system: automatic snapshots before destructive actions like file writes, patches, rm, and git reset --hard.
- /rollback can list checkpoints, restore a chosen snapshot, and rewind agent context so filesystem state matches the agent’s memory.
- The quoted section about /yolo shows the opposite mode: bypass prompts for destructive commands when the user trusts the automation.
- The broader point is that agent tooling needs strong guardrails, not just more autonomy.
