Problem Statement

Problem

No built-in way to see ONLY the files Claude edited in the most recent prompt.
VS Code Source Control and git diff mix Claude's edits with my own work —
I have to manually figure out which is which after every prompt.
Every time have to see git old changes as well and find what new changes recently it did.

Proposed Solution

Reference

Augment Code has a "Changes" tab that lists only the assistant's per-prompt
edits with side-by-side diffs. Claude Code should match this.

Ask

A panel inside Claude Code that:

  1. Tracks every Edit/Write/MultiEdit during the current prompt
  2. Shows old vs new diff per file same as git (you can follow to Augment Code really great feature https://www.augmentcode.com/)
  3. Works in both CLI and VS Code extension and Desktop

Why

  • Reviewing AI changes needs scoped diffs
  • Workarounds (hooks, git stash, "Files Changed" chat blocks) are clunky
  • Other AI tools already provide this — baseline UX expectation

Thanks!
