Plan mode is dead

    I use Claude's Plan mode daily and it's great. I almost always have feedback to refine the plan and I want a clean separation of planning time before writing code. I don't get what the problem is.

    I also find this "kill Plan mode" push on Twitter odd, because developers have been complaining about AI supposedly killing their jobs, yet they want to take away the main feature that lets them be an active collaborator and participator in the process. Weird.

      It's just redundant when you can just collaborate in the "main" mode. There's never been a point to having a separate plan mode.

        There is a point, plan mode has harness level behaviour - it's restricted to readonly tools, and it re-reads its plan into context after compaction
