Usage Patterns

Quick Iteration Loop

When Claude is making repetitive changes:

  1. 🤙🏻 Accept first suggestion → review result
  2. ⏭ Accept all remaining similar changes
  3. 👀 Check full output to verify
  4. Continue coding

Error Recovery

When something goes wrong:

  1. ❌ Stop generation immediately
  2. 🙅‍♂️ Reject incorrect changes
  3. 🎤︎ Explain what you actually want via voice
  4. 🤙🏻 Accept the corrected suggestion

Complex Feature Work

When explaining a complex feature:

  1. 🎤︎ Dictate the full context and requirements
  2. Wait for Claude to generate
  3. 👀 Review full output and reasoning
  4. 🤙🏻 or 🙅‍♂️ depending on quality
  5. Iterate if needed

Why These Icons?

  • 🤙🏻 (Shaka) — Universal "all good" gesture
  • ⏭ (Fast forward) — Skip ahead quickly
  • 🙅‍♂️ (Person gesturing NO) — Clear rejection
  • ❌ (Cross mark) — Stop/cancel
  • 👀 (Eyes) — Look at details
  • 🎤︎ (Microphone) — Voice input

These are instantly recognizable and map naturally to their actions.

Pro Tips

Double Tap Stop

Tap ❌ twice quickly to completely exit the current Claude operation and return to normal editing.

Voice for Complex Context

Use 🎤︎ when you need to explain:

  • Multi-file refactoring requirements
  • Business logic with nuances
  • Error descriptions with stack traces
  • Design decisions and trade-offs

Voice is much faster than typing for these scenarios.

Accept All for Formatting

When Claude is applying consistent formatting changes (like adding types, fixing indentation, etc.), use ⏭ to approve all changes at once instead of reviewing each file.

Full Output for Debugging

When Claude's suggestions seem off, hit 👀 to see its reasoning. Often you'll spot where it misunderstood your intent.
