Hey everyone, so both on a technical level and a how do I make it stop level. Why does Claude Code seem to run soooo many terminal commands like grep, find, wc, and so on compared to Cursor (even when Im using a Claude model on Cursor)? It’s really frustrating because I sit needing to approve so many commands. I dont understand why it cant just read and index files similarly to Cursor? Is there a setting Ive messed up? Seems so token hungry to run so many of these commands too (less of an issue, more a constantly sit and approve issue) submitted by /u/Jordz2203
