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

I looked around and didn't find anything asking for exactly this, so figured I would make a separate issue for this request. This request is specific to Claude Code on the desktop app.

Today, when reviewing a plan, the only real way you give feedback is by hitting ESC, provide some text to the "Revise" popup. This is fine, but it can be imprecise, especially on larger plans where you want to make some more targeted edits or ask questions about specific aspects of the plan that came up. I've basically resorted to essentially re-stating what was said in the plan so that I can give Claude more guidance.

Proposed Solution

I would like to select one or more lines / paragraphs and comment on them inline, just like how you can do that in the code diffs, e.g. this:

<img width="1470" height="598" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a6f64bc7-b932-49f3-8027-236b6a8018af" />

Being able to do this on a plan to make targeted revisions / ask questions would be a really nice addition to the desktop UI

Alternative Solutions

The only real solution right now (I think?) is to do what I said above - reject with guidance, but the guidance has to be descriptive about what portion of the plan you want to change. It works well enough, but it could be better.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

You're working with Claude to come up with a plan, and you're reviewing it with them. That's the exact use case, I don't think I can be any more straightforward than that.

Additional Context

No response

TL;DR

Implementing inline commenting for specific lines or paragraphs in the plan review feature could address the user's need for more targeted feedback.

Guidance

  • Consider adding a feature to select and comment on specific parts of the plan, similar to code diffs, to enable more precise feedback.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of integrating this feature into the existing desktop app UI, potentially leveraging similar functionality from the code review process.
  • Assess the potential impact on the user experience and the plan review workflow to ensure a seamless integration.
  • Investigate possible technical requirements, such as updating the plan data model or modifying the UI components, to support inline commenting.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more technical details, but the implementation might involve creating a new UI component for inline comments and updating the plan review API to handle commented sections.

Notes

The proposed solution requires careful consideration of the technical implications and potential effects on the user experience. The implementation details will depend on the specific technology stack and architecture of the Claude Code desktop app.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by enhancing the existing "Revise" popup to allow for more descriptive feedback, potentially including a text field for specifying the relevant plan section, until a full inline commenting feature can be implemented. This approach can provide an interim solution to address the user's need for more targeted feedback.
