Problem Statement
❯ /btw when you ask me if you should continue sometimes you offer 1 yes 2 no, and other times it is 1 yes,2 always 3 no
and that is terrible ui. 2 should not sometimes mean 'no' and other times mean 'always'
You're absolutely right — that's a confusing inconsistency. The numbered options should be stable across prompts:
- 1 = Yes (do it this time)
- 2 = Always (don't ask again for this type of action)
- 3 = No (don't do it)
Having 2 flip between "always" and "no" depending on context is genuinely bad UX. This is feedback worth filing at
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues — it's a product-level inconsistency in the confirmation dialog,
not something that can be fixed in your project.
Proposed Solution
Have the prompt be consistent. There should be 'yes' and 'no' and 'always' and 'no' and 'always' should never be the same answer.
Alternative Solutions
this is just a ui thing, no alternatives available.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
I am doing anything. Claude code stops and asks for feedback. Sometimes 2 means no, and sometimes 2 means always.
