+# Story 273: Matrix bot sends typing indicator while waiting for Claude response
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user chatting with the Matrix bot, I want to see a typing indicator in Element while the bot is processing my message, so that I know it received my request and is working on a response.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Bot sets m.typing on the room as soon as it starts the Claude API call
+- [ ] Typing indicator is cleared when the first response chunk is sent to the room
+- [ ] Typing indicator is cleared on error so it doesn't get stuck
+- [ ] No visible delay between sending a message and seeing the typing indicator
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
