Problem Statement
Problem
When using the Claude Code Beta plugin in PhpStorm/IntelliJ, every file edit triggers a confirmation dialog in the IDE that requires manual approval. This interrupts the workflow and makes the AI assistant less efficient, especially when working on tasks that involve multiple file changes.
Proposed Solution
Requested Feature
Add a setting to auto-approve file edits without showing IDE confirmation dialogs. Users should be able to enable this option in the plugin settings.
Alternative Solutions

Priority

Use Case Example
Use Case
- User gives Claude Code a task (e.g., "refactor component X")
- Claude Code makes multiple file changes
- Current behavior: User must click "Approve" for each file change in the IDE
- Desired behavior: Changes are applied automatically, user only sees confirmation in the console/terminal
Additional Context
Suggested Implementation
Add a plugin setting like:
☑ Auto-approve file edits (skip confirmation dialogs)
Users who enable this trust Claude Code to make changes directly. They can still review changes via Git diff and rollback if needed.
Why This Matters
The console/terminal output already shows what Claude Code is doing. IDE dialogs add unnecessary friction for users who trust the AI and prefer to review changes via Git history instead of approving each edit individually.
