Problem Statement

The first time I tried Claude Code in Webstorm, I was surprised how incredibly annoying it was to be confronted by so many diff confirmation dialogs. I quickly found out about the Shift+Tab mode switching and that was a sigh of relief.

Proposed Solution

I think a better experience would be to, in the default mode, present the user with a diff window once the task is _complete_. I think this is a better balance between too much interaction/distraction and overwhelmingly large diff reviews. I suppose I can just use the staging area for already-reviewed prompts in the accept edits mode 🤷

However, I think my proposal would encourage better review habits. If there's still demand for the level of prompting in the default mode, you could add and extra mode (completion summary diff) so the user can choose their level of being prompted. I think this mode could also help address the issue with visual overwhelm in the non-IDE scenario as explained in #2428 .
