Problem Statement
Currently, when Claude Code is launched with a prompt as an argument, Claude will launch and automatically run that prompt. I'm using this to generate a prompt from my app and send it to Claude, but I want my users to be able to review the prompt before it actually is executed.
Proposed Solution
For this, it would be great if a new command line argument was added, to launch Claude with a prompt already, but not auto-submit it.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example
A 3rd party app generates a prompt and launches Claude with it, but the user has a chance to see and confirm what they are going to submit before it's executed.
