Problem Statement
This extends #74024
Summary
Currently, confirming that Claude did the right thing requires typing a sentence ("yes, exactly that", "that's what I wanted", etc.). A simple 👍 reaction button on Claude's responses would be a lower-friction way to send the same signal.
Motivation
Claude benefits from explicit confirmation signals just as much as from corrections — without them, a validated approach isn't anchored and Claude may drift away from it in future turns. But typing a confirmation interrupts the flow in a way that a quick reaction wouldn't.
A thumbs up button would let users:
- Confirm Claude's approach was correct with one click
- Anchor validated behavior for the rest of the session
- Avoid the awkward "just saying you were right" message that breaks the working rhythm
Proposed Solution
Proposed behavior
A 👍 (and optionally 👎) reaction on each assistant turn, similar to how chat apps handle reactions. The signal could be used to reinforce the approach taken in that turn — functionally equivalent to the user typing "yes, exactly that."

Additional Context
Context
This came up while reflecting on collaboration patterns: corrections are easy to give, but positive confirmations are quieter and easy to skip. A reaction button would make it natural to close that feedback loop both ways.
