Response Summary & Your Request in Power Claude — status without the scroll

Response Summary & Your Request in Power Claude — status without the scroll

Long agent sessions bury the original ask and bury what still needs you. Power Claude solves both token-free: a 🟦 Your Request banner pins the session’s first message, and Response Summary ends multi-step replies with clear Remaining / Optional / Landed status so you never parse a wall of prose to know if work is done.

TL;DR

Your Request bannerOn0 (DOM / transcript)“What is this session for?”

🟥 RemainingOnstrip / textOnly items that need you
🟧 OptionalOnstrip / textNice-to-haves when present
🔵 LANDEDOnstrip / textWork is on local main (verified)

Your Request banner

  • Reads the first user message from the session transcript.
  • Renders a slim banner in the Claude Code chat webview — no LLM restatement.
  • Survives context compaction when pin to first prompt is on (default).
  • Dismiss per session with ×; hard-off: ~/.power-claude/state/your-request-banner.disabled.

Response Summary (end of multi-step replies)

Master: powerClaude.responseSummary.enabled (default on).

Enforce mode (default on)

powerClaude.responseSummary.enforce — every multi-step reply ends with status: green Complete when nothing genuinely needs you, or 🟥 Remaining listing only real decisions/blockers. Routine SOP (commit / push / publish / deploy) does not belong in Remaining. Single-action replies get no strip.

Strips vs text

powerClaude.responseSummary.renderBehavior
strips (default)Compact marker; Power Claude paints branded strips in the webview
textClaude writes lightweight emoji text (CLI-friendly)

Per-box toggles

  • …remaining.enabled — 🟥 only genuine needs-you items
  • …optional.enabled — 🟧 optional ideas
  • …landed.enabled — 🔵 only after work is verified on local main (empty branch diff vs main + clean worktree). Push remains your step.

How to configure

  1. Install Power Claude.
  2. Settings → search responseSummary or Your Request.
  3. Leave defaults for multi-session work; turn off master switches for a bare Claude Code chat.
  4. Prefer strips in VS Code; use text if you live in pure CLI.

FAQ

Does this cost API tokens?

Banner: no. Strips mode: marker is tiny; Power Claude renders UI. Text mode uses normal assistant text.

Why don’t I see LANDED?

LANDED is omitted until work is fully on local main. Absence means “not landed yet.”
