Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

While thinking, Claude Code will provide a nonsense word like "Skedaddling". This set of words does not include "Encabulating" but clearly should.

The Turbo/Retro/Hyper Encabulator has been a running engineering joke since 1946... if any reader of this issue has not watched the videos, they should do that before progressing any further.

See The Wikipedia page for details and links to videos.

Proposed Solution

Add "Encabulating" to the thinking words. There are many other words and phrases from the series that could also be incorporated, but "Encabulating" would be the minimum viable product.

Alternative Solutions

Keep being less awesome than you could be.

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

When watching the spinner while Claude is thinking, my day would be come more awesome if Claude said it was encabulating.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add "Encabulating" to the list of words Claude Code uses while thinking to improve the interactive mode experience.

Guidance

  • Review the current list of thinking words in Claude Code to determine the best way to add "Encabulating" without disrupting existing functionality.
  • Consider adding other relevant words or phrases from the Turbo Encabulator series to enhance the user experience.
  • Evaluate the impact of this change on the overall performance and behavior of Claude Code's interactive mode.
  • Verify that the addition of "Encabulating" does not introduce any inconsistencies or errors in the code.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific technical details about the implementation.

Notes

The feasibility of adding "Encabulating" and other words from the series may depend on the specific architecture and design of Claude Code's interactive mode.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add "Encabulating" to the thinking words, as this is a low-priority but desirable feature that can enhance the user experience without significant risk or complexity.
