claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Visually distinguish Claude's questions to the user in the terminal UI [1 comments, 2 participants]

• This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When Claude asks a question or requests user input during a conversation (e.g., "Are you happy with this plan, or would you like me to adjust anything?"), the text appears in the same white color as the rest of Claude's response.This makes it hard to quickly scan a conversation and find the points where Claude is asking for a decision or confirmation.

Proposed Solution

Render Claude's questions to the user in a distinct color (or allow configuring one). For example, lines ending with ? directed at the user, or explicit prompts like "Would you like to proceed?" could be styled differently.

A configuration option could look like:

{
  "theme": {
    "assistantQuestionColor": "cyan"
  }
}

Use Case Example

In longer sessions — especially when Claude follows a multi-step workflow — there are many points where Claude pauses to ask for approval, feedback, or a choice. Currently these blend into the rest of the output, making it easy to miss them. A distinct color would allow users to:

• Quickly scan and find decision points in a long conversation
• Identify where Claude is blocked waiting for input
• Reduce time spent re-reading to find the actual question
