Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Yolt is a Rust CLI tool that creates restorable snapshots of filesystem changes when running LLMs with file access, preventing permanent data loss from overwrites or deletions. It's interesting because it addresses a specific, painful failure mode in AI-assisted development workflows with a lightweight, focused approach to file safety.

Target audience: backend devs, ai-ml engineers
