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

This feature was previously requested here but that issue was closed due to lack of activity. This is still a desired feature, however.

Prior description:

The "accept edits on" feature poses a significant risk in any AI-assisted code editor. In the case of Claude Code, that risk is amplified due to ongoing issues with code quality and frequent hallucinations.

For this reason, it's essential to give users the option to completely and unconditionally disable "accept edits on". No automatic code changes should ever occur without explicit user approval.

This control is critical to protect the integrity of users' codebases. While the quality and reliability of Claude Code continue to improve, automation must never override user intent. Until the assistant's output is consistently trustworthy, this safeguard is not optional — it's necessary.

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to add a configuration option or flag to unconditionally disable the "accept edits on" feature in Claude Code.

Guidance

  • Review the codebase for existing configuration options or flags that could be leveraged to disable automatic code changes.
  • Consider adding a new flag or option, such as --disable-accept-edits or --require-explicit-approval, to the CLI commands.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a temporary workaround, such as a manual override or a custom script, to prevent automatic code changes until a permanent solution is implemented.
  • Investigate the code quality and hallucination issues in Claude Code to determine if addressing these underlying problems could mitigate the need for a disable option.

Notes

The lack of technical details and code snippets in the issue makes it challenging to provide a more specific solution. The guidance provided is based on the problem statement and proposed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a configuration option or flag to disable the "accept edits on" feature is crucial to prevent automatic code changes and protect the integrity of users' codebases, especially given the ongoing issues with code quality and hallucinations in Claude Code.
