Plan Mode
Read-only thinking before any edit. The cure for premature commitment.
In Plan Mode the agent can read, search, and reason — but it cannot edit, run shell commands that modify state, or commit. It produces a plan you approve before it gets the tools to act.
When to use it: anything that touches more than two files, anything you're not 100% sure how to scope, anything where the wrong approach costs more than waiting one extra turn.
