It injects a '# Responsive mode' section into the system prompt and uses `prompt.submit`\/`turn.abort` hooks (hooks are pieces of code that run at specific points in a turn) to abort and redirect the turn so the acknowledgment goes out first.\n\n- A new lazy-loaded 'responsive-mode' bundle chunk (a piece of code loaded on demand rather than upfront) is registered alongside the existing 'diff' chunk, loaded under the same conditions (non-local-agent entrypoint).\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives users faster visible feedback that Claude has received a prompt, before it starts any longer thinking or tool use.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `responsive-mode`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
