Add option to disable prompt suggestions in Claude.ai web/app interface
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
The web and app chat interface shows a suggested starter prompt on the new-chat screen (e.g. "Hey Claude—I just added the [skill-name] skill. Can you make something amazing with it?"), which latches onto the most recently added skill.
Claude Code has configuration for this (CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION=false and a /config toggle), but there's no equivalent in the Claude.ai web/app interface — no settings toggle, env var, or config file to suppress it.
Proposed Solution
Add a user-facing setting in Claude.ai web/app to disable suggested prompts so new chats open with a blank input.
Alternative Solutions
Remove this feature, it is distracting and only annoys people who read it, consider if it is relevant realizing it is the same prompt time after time
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)

_No response_
Additional Context

This is SUPER ANNOYING
Really need this. Pointless having claude quiz me about stuff I'm trying to learn if it auto suggests the answer!
This is the most annoying feature ever.
I'm with the others, please add this.
PLEASE allow this to be turned off! ;-)
