Problem Statement
When Claude proposes multiple sequential tool calls (e.g., multiple file edits), the current approval dialog only offers Approve and Deny. A Skip option would allow users to skip a specific tool call and let Claude proceed to the next one, without having to type a follow-up message like "next edit."
Proposed Solution
Current behavior
- Approve: execute the tool call
- Deny: reject and stop; user must type a message to redirect Claude
Expected behavior
- Approve: execute the tool call
- Skip: skip this tool call only, let Claude continue to the next one
- Deny: reject and stop

Use Case Example
Reviewing a batch of file edits one by one. Some edits are acceptable, some are not. Currently, denying one edit stops the whole flow and requires a text message to resume. A "Skip" would let users pass over unwanted edits without interrupting the sequence.
