# Piped Mode
When stdin is not a terminal (i.e., input is piped), yoyo reads all of stdin as a single prompt, processes it, and exits. This works like single-prompt mode but takes input from a pipe instead of a flag.
## Usage
```bash
git diff | yoyo
```
## When to use it
Piped mode is useful for:
- **Passing file contents** as part of the prompt
- **Chaining with other commands** in a pipeline
- **Feeding structured input** from scripts
## Examples
**Review a git diff:**
```bash
```bash
cargo test 2>&1 | yoyo --system "Explain these test failures and suggest fixes."
```
## Detection
yoyo detects piped mode automatically by checking if stdin is a terminal. If it is not, piped mode activates. If stdin is a terminal, interactive REPL mode starts instead.
If piped input is empty, yoyo exits with an error: `No input on stdin.`
