claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [feature request] Configurable idle threshold for session recap auto-fire [1 participants]

TL;DR

To address the issue, consider adding a configurable threshold for the auto-fire idle feature, such as an awaySummaryIdleMinutes setting or a CLAUDE_CODE_AWAY_SUMMARY_IDLE_MINUTES environment variable.

Guidance

• Review the existing settings.json configuration to understand the current structure and potential locations for adding a new setting like awaySummaryIdleMinutes.
• Investigate if there are any existing environment variables that could be leveraged or extended to include the idle threshold configuration, similar to CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY.
• Consider the implications of introducing a user-configurable threshold, including how it might affect the overall user experience and any potential edge cases that need to be handled.
• Evaluate the feasibility of implementing this feature request in the current version of Claude Code (2.1.126) or if it would require updates to the underlying architecture.

Example

No specific code example is provided due to the lack of detailed implementation information in the issue.

Notes

The introduction of a configurable threshold would require careful consideration of the default value, the range of acceptable values, and how the feature interacts with other settings and environment variables.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually using the /recap command for short pauses until the configurable threshold feature can be implemented, as this allows for some level of customization of the recap feature without waiting for a full implementation of the requested functionality.
