Support for Claude's showClearContextOnPlanAccept mode

[mckernanin]

The "clear context and implement" option in Claude Code got moved behind a config flag at some point, is there a way to trigger / select this in plannotator?

[Maxaubert]

Short answer: no, Plannotator can't trigger that option, and it isn't something that can be fixed on the Plannotator side right now.

Cause: showClearContextOnPlanAccept is only read inside Claude Code's own native plan-approval dialog. Plannotator approves the plan through a hook, and that path skips the dialog entirely. The hook's allow decision also has no field for "clear context", so there is nothing Plannotator could send to request it. The maintainer confirmed this at the source level here: #967 (comment)

The upstream Claude Code issue for it (anthropics/claude-code#71061) was closed as a duplicate of anthropics/claude-code#25690, so that is the one to follow. There was also an attempt to work around it by falling through to the native dialog and injecting a keystroke (#693), but it was closed without merging. Related older threads say the same: #127 and #194.

Workaround: review and annotate in Plannotator, and if you want a fresh context, use the Export dialog to save the plan (Obsidian, Bear or download) or copy the feedback. Then go back to Claude Code and start a new session with the plan, or run /clear yourself before implementing.
