Problem Statement

The autocomplete suggestion doesn't make sense in the context of the scenario I'm using Claude Code Opus 4.8 in, nothing to do with the model, whatever you're using to generate or recommend autocomplete suggestions for it is recommending me useless garbage half the time, remove it.

Proposed Solution

The auto-suggested user replies in the terminal are frequently inaccurate, e.g., it suggested I ask the assistant to restart the app for a client-side change that needed no restart (the page just refreshes). They read like guesses made without the conversation's actual context, and following them would cause unnecessary work. Remove them if they don't provide a useful path forward, they shouldn't be shown at all then.

Thanks for the feedback. You can turn prompt suggestions off today:

  • Run /config and toggle Prompt suggestions off, or
  • Set "promptSuggestionEnabled": false in your settings file, or
  • Set the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION=false

Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode#prompt-suggestions and https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings

Closing since the opt-out exists; quality feedback on the suggestions themselves is noted.
