alt Hacker NewsIt seems unsurprising that if your definition of "plan mode" is as tiny as appending "but don't write code yet", that it would not be that useful for that long. There have to be more sophisticated versions of what "plan mode" means out there.
Also if you are working in a heavily vibe-coded codebase, as Claude Code reportedly is, it's not that surprising if the human doesn't really understand it or have anything useful to add in a collaborative context.
GitHub Copilot for VS Code by default configures "Plan" mode to disable everything except reading, asking the user questions, and writing into the memory scratchpad. Claude Code's tool system feels quite rudimentary in comparison, but that's what you get I guess when you're only working with models you're going to finetune on being able to handle specifically your own tools anyway.
