stance switching to investigate on a "no code" prompt and refusing an edit

Session modes that are enforced, not requested. In a study of 242 of the author's own Claude Code sessions, "no code, no commit, no PR" was typed as a preamble in 44 of them. Typing it is a request the model can forget. With stance it is a rule: the tool call is refused before it runs.

StanceBadgeWhat it allows
investigatemagnifierFindings only. Denies Edit/Write/NotebookEdit (except files under the OS temp dir or a session scratchpad), git commit/push/branch <name>/switch -c/checkout -b/worktree add/merge/rebase/cherry-pick/revert/am, gh pr checkout, every gh send that draft denies, and MCP tools whose name holds a write verb (send post create save update delete merge comment reply publish).
draftquillWork locally: no push, PR, issue or MCP post. Denies git push; gh write verbs on any noun (create merge comment review edit close reopen ready delete transfer lock pin upload run rerun cancel set fork rename archive sync enable disable develop add remove ..., for example gh pr review, gh issue comment, gh release create); gh api with a non-GET method or with -f/-F/--input fields (a GraphQL query is allowed, a mutation is not); and MCP write-verb tools. Edits and local commits are fine.
buildhammerThe default. Stance restricts nothing.
shiprocketRestricts nothing. The band reminds you to verify (tests, CI, review) before merging.

Every deny names the stance and how to switch, for example:

STANCE INVESTIGATE: git commit is off in INVESTIGATE stance (findings only: no edits, commits or PRs).
Report instead, or ask the person to switch with /stance draft or /stance build.

Install

/plugin marketplace add pourya7/claude-code-mods
/plugin install stance@claude-code-mods

Commands

CommandWhat it does
/stanceShows the current stance and who set it: (default), (auto-detected) or (set by you).
/stance <name>Switches to investigate (or inv), draft, build or ship. Runs at once, even mid-turn.

Auto-detect. When you type a prompt, these phrases (any case) switch the stance and toast STANCE → INVESTIGATE:

  • investigation task, investigation only, no code, no commit(s), no PR(s), findings only switch to investigate.
  • do not send/post/reply (or don't), draft only switch to draft.

When both kinds match, the stricter stance (investigate) wins. Auto-detect only reads prompts you typed (terminal, Remote Control or SDK), not peer or task messages. It can tighten the stance you chose with /stance or a band button, and it may loosen a stance it set itself, but never below the one you chose. When a phrase asks for less than your choice it toasts STANCE KEPT: INVESTIGATE (SET BY YOU), naming the stance you chose.

Telling the model. Outside build, every prompt carries a short note with the stance's rules as prompt context. /stance <name> also leaves that note for the model. A subagent spawned with the Agent tool gets the note at the top of its prompt, and the subagent's own tool calls go through the same checks.

Config

OptionDefaultWhat it does
autoDetecttrueSwitches stance when a prompt uses one of the phrases above.
showBuildfalseShows the band in build too. By default the band hides in build.

The band

The band sits above the prompt: the class badge in half-block pixels, the stance name in its colour (investigate blue, draft yellow, build orange, ship lime), a one-line rule, and buttons that switch on click. With the band focused (ctrl+x tab), the hotkeys i, d, b and s press them. The band hides in build and while a survey is showing. In VS Code and claude -p, where no band draws, the status line reads STANCE ▶ INVESTIGATE and /stance answers in text.

Text capture of the band on the terminal (colours dropped):

▄▀▀█▀▄    STANCE ★ INVESTIGATE
██████    FINDINGS ONLY. NO EDITS, COMMITS OR PRS.
 ▀▀▀▀▄    [ INV ] [ DRAFT ] [ BUILD ] [ SHIP ]
     ▀█▄

Permissions

NetworkRuns processesFilesCalls a modelAuto-submits promptsData leaving the machine
NoneNoneNone read or written. It reads only the TMPDIR variable, to know which paths count as temp.NoNoNone. Outside build, the stance note is added to your own prompts and Agent prompts, which go to your own model as usual.

State: the stance lives in session state ($.state, stance.current) and resets with each new session.

Limits

  • Bash is checked by parsing commands for git and gh. The parser respects quotes and splits on ;, &, |, newlines, subshells ( ), groups { }, $( ) and backticks (also inside double quotes). It drops env assignments and wrappers (env sudo nice nohup time timeout xargs command exec stdbuf), takes the basename of the command (/usr/bin/git), opens sh/bash/zsh -c '...' and eval ..., skips git -C dir/-c k=v, and reads attached short flags (checkout -bfoo). Not caught: aliases and shell functions, scripts and Makefiles, git reached through a variable ($G push) or another interpreter (python -c, node -e), here-docs fed to a shell, and git plumbing that writes refs (update-ref, commit-tree). The check is a seatbelt, not a sandbox.
  • Only Bash, the edit tools and MCP tools are checked. Built-in tools such as SendMessage (messages to other agents in the session) stay allowed in every stance, so a subagent can still report back.
  • Investigate does not stop Bash from writing files (echo > file). It stops the edit tools.
