I have a question. I do not like the concept of "agent mode" for AI. I'm a control freak and I want to control every line that gets committed because I am responsible for it and need to understand/visualize/memorize every part of codebases I work on.

Is Claude Code good for the "ask" flow? No, right?

The old flow before agent mode got added. Select some code, ask questions about it or give an instruction on editing it and then choose to accept the change.

As I understand (I could be wrong), with agent mode, it edits the file for you, no way for you to accept before it does, so you have to manually check the diff, roll back parts you don't want, etc.

Am I right?
