Human in the loop

**Claude hands you the tasks only you can do. They wait until you act, and your answer goes back to Claude.**

Why

Claude often needs something only you can do: a key in `.env`, an approval on staging, a command on your own machine, a decision. Today it says so in the middle of a reply. You're busy steering the next fix, and the ask scrolls away. At best Claude keeps repeating "I still need you to…"; at worst the ask is lost.

With this mod, Claude assigns the ask as a task instead. It waits in the **My tasks** pane, counted under the prompt, until you do it, answer it or reject it.

An example

Get our Stripe webhooks library ready to open-source.

Claude works through it, and three times hits something only you can do: the integration tests need your Stripe key, making the repo public is your call, and the package needs a name. Each becomes a task, and Claude keeps working:
