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

Right now we have to press ctrl+o to see what messages were sent from a teammate to the other. This is very annoying. CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 allows to have interactive elements that expand when clicked.

Proposed Solution

When CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1, allow that clicking on a teammate message expand it. Also an env variable "CLAUDE_CODE_EXPAND_TEAMMATE_MESSAGE=1" that would default to showing the full messages in the viewer would be nice to increase monitorability

Alternative Solutions

Priority

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

Audit messages sent from the teamlead to the teammates, make sure that the prompt is not biasing it and that it adhere to the user prompt to the team lead

TL;DR

Implementing an environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_EXPAND_TEAMMATE_MESSAGE=1 could allow for default expansion of teammate messages when CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 is set.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 to understand how interactive elements are expanded when clicked.
  • Consider adding a conditional check for the proposed CLAUDE_CODE_EXPAND_TEAMMATE_MESSAGE=1 environment variable to control the default expansion of teammate messages.
  • Evaluate the impact of this change on the overall user experience, particularly in terms of monitorability and potential information overload.
  • Test the proposed solution with different scenarios, including the use case example provided, to ensure it meets the requirements.

Notes

The solution relies on the assumption that the CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 environment variable is correctly implemented and that adding another variable will not introduce unintended side effects.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the proposed CLAUDE_CODE_EXPAND_TEAMMATE_MESSAGE=1 environment variable, as it seems to be a targeted solution to the problem described, aiming to enhance monitorability without disrupting existing functionality.
