[FEATURE] Start Claude Code Chat from TODO Comments

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

It would be great to have a feature similar to one in Codex:

When we write a TODO comment like // TODO: change this variable name to xyz, Codex adds an action link above the comment labeled “Implement with Codex.”

I find that workflow really helpful.

Proposed Solution

Open the Claude Code view with a new chat already started, using the comment text as the initial prompt?

Alternative Solutions

Add an option to the right-click context menu called "Start a Claude prompt here…".

When triggered, it should open Claude Code with a new chat seeded from that location. If text is selected, Claude should use that selection as context, ideally including the selected range's start and end lines.

That would make it much faster to jump from code to a focused prompt without having to manually copy context.
