Problem Statement

I work with Claude Code both as standalone and in VSCode. I am asking for a way to shut out the dumb cutesy messages that appear while the model is working. Things like forging, discombobulating, honking, puttering, sussing. There is no need for this and if the aim is to anthropomorphize the model, then why not as a 45 years old software engineer which will say huh!, mmm..., right!, gotcha ?

Proposed Solution

I'd like to a switch to turn off these cutesy messages and just have the model say 'still thinking'.
