Problem Statement

When Claude's response is long enough to push my previous prompt off-screen, I lose context of what I just asked. This makes it hard to stay oriented in the conversation.

Proposed Solution

Display the user's last prompt in a lined-off section directly above the input box — like a sticky "last prompt" bar. This would act as a persistent context reminder without cluttering the main output.

Alternative Solutions

An alternative approach would be to echo the user's previous prompt (in a different color) below Claude's response, before the next input area.

Either way, the goal is: I should always be able to see what I just asked without scrolling up.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Use Case Example

I ask Claude to refactor a large function. The response includes 80+ lines of code, explanation, and suggestions. By the time I reach the input box to type my follow-up, my original prompt has scrolled well off-screen. I have to scroll back up just to remember exactly what I asked — did I say "refactor for readability" or "refactor for performance"? A sticky last-prompt bar above the input would keep me oriented without breaking my flow.
