Claude's reply in VS Code with Layers: a short summary, then a Question box, a Warning box and a Tip box. Made by Layers. Claude Code doesn't do this on its own.
Claude asks: Allow this bash command? A twelve-line sed command full of regular expressions, then find, git commit and git push. Under it, only Claude's own note: Redact PII in data files, commit, and force push. The same prompt with Layers' Lens: Edits customers.json and orders.json: replaces every email address, phone number, card number, Social Security number and IP address with [redacted]; then deletes .json files under data smaller than 2 KB. Tagged: changes files, deletes files, uses the network, rewrites git history.
Try it. Switch between the two.
VS Code's file list before Claude starts. The file list with R next to every file Claude read. The file list after the task: N on the new csv.js, E on the files Claude edited, R on the ones it read.
Live. Watch the agents finish.
Try it. Flip a switch.
The end of Claude's reply in VS Code: it added a Download customers button and warns that the CSV has every customer's details. Under it, Claude Code's You should know note: Heads up. The new button gives anyone with the dashboard link every customer's email, company and country, because the page has no login. Buttons: Learn more, Knew this already, Dismiss. A real note, from a real task.

Long replies bury the important bits. Layers pulls out Claude's questions, warnings and tips and puts each one in its own box.

A twelve-line command Claude wants to run, Claude's own note, and Layers' Lens under it: replaces every email address, phone number, card number, Social Security number and IP address with [redacted], then deletes small .json files.
