Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Most of the work process I do with Claude is;

1. Discuss (only) a feature and implementation path
2. Write documentation / spec
3. Implement the spec
4. Debugging cycles
5. Have Claude stop and review/research (discuss only) to figure out why it's not working
6. Continue debugging cycles

The problem is there's no mechanic that makes it easy to switch between modes-

• Discuss only, no changes allowed
• Changes allowed, confirm each individually
• All changes allowed, yolo. Especially good for docs and isolated feature mocks on a new branch

Proposed Solution

I think of these as RED, YELLOW, GREEN states, and it would be much more practical to have a single-click state-switch that simply lets users gate Claude's activities quickly.

Ideally this would be implemented as a tab, with a clear indicator-
