If you got this to work, explain:

• The relative path of the settings file you modified to make it work
• The actual code you put in the settings file to disable the time wasting nonsense spinner verbs

Issue #21599 Verification

Title: [DOCS] Settings page missing spinnerVerbs configuration documentation
Issue Date: 2026-01-29
Verification Date: 2026-01-29
Status: RESOLVED

---

Issue Summary

This issue reports that the spinnerVerbs setting (added in v2.1.23) is not documented in the settings reference table, making it impossible for users to discover or configure this feature.

---

Verification Results

Claim 1: spinnerVerbs is not documented

Status: RESOLVED

The spinnerVerbs setting is now documented at line 170 of the settings page:

| spinnerVerbs | Customize the action verbs shown in the spinner and turn duration messages. Set mode to "replace" to use only your verbs, or "append" to add them to the defaults | {"mode": "append", "verbs": ["Pondering", "Crafting"]} |

Verdict: Documentation has been added since the issue was filed.

---

Claim 2: Related settings like spinnerTipsEnabled are documented

Status: Confirmed (still true)

spinnerTipsEnabled is documented at line 173:

| spinnerTipsEnabled | Show tips in the spinner while Claude is working. Set to false to disable tips (default: true) | false |

Verdict: Both settings are now documented in the same table.

---

Current State

| Claim | Status |
|-------|--------|
| spinnerVerbs not documented | RESOLVED |
| Related settings documented | Confirmed |

---

Suggested Fix

No fix needed. The documentation now includes all requested information:

• Setting name: spinnerVerbs
• Description of functionality
• Configuration structure (mode and verbs fields)
• Example configuration

---

References

• URL: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings
• Lines 169-173 in mirror: Settings table including showTurnDuration, spinnerVerbs, language, autoUpdatesChannel, and spinnerTipsEnabled

---

Conclusion & Recommendation

Primary Concern: The spinnerVerbs setting was undocumented, preventing users from discovering or configuring custom spinner verbs.

Resolution Status: RESOLVED

Recommendation: CLOSE

The documentation now fully documents spinnerVerbs with a clear description and example showing both the mode and verbs configuration options, which is more detailed than what the reporter originally suggested.
