Stop asking clarifying questions when intent is already clear

Problem

When a user asks Claude to review something and the review identifies issues, Claude then asks "Would you like me to address these issues?" - this is frustrating because the user has already clearly indicated they want the issues fixed by asking for a review in the first place.

Example

User: "review pr comments"
Claude: reviews and lists issues
Claude: "Would you like me to address the three minor issues from the review?"

The user's intent to fix issues was already clear from the context. Asking for confirmation adds unnecessary friction.

Expected Behaviour

When reviewing code/PRs and finding issues, Claude should:

  1. List the issues found
  2. Immediately proceed to fix them (or ask only if there's genuine ambiguity about scope)

Context

This pattern of over-confirmation slows down workflows and feels like Claude is being overly cautious when the user's intent is obvious from context.
