|
Use this tool when you encounter a complex task that requires careful planning and exploration before implementation. This tool transitions you into plan mode where you can thoroughly explore the codebase and design an implementation approach.
|
|
|
|
## When to Use This Tool
|
|
|
|
Use EnterPlanMode when ANY of these conditions apply:
|
|
|
|
1. **Multiple Valid Approaches**: The task can be solved in several different ways, each with trade-offs
|
|
- Example: "Add caching to the API" - could use Redis, in-memory, file-based, etc.
|
|
- Example: "Improve performance" - many optimization strategies possible
|
|
|
|
2. **Significant Architectural Decisions**: The task requires choosing between architectural patterns
|
|
- Example: "Add real-time updates" - WebSockets vs SSE vs polling
|
|
- Example: "Implement state management" - Redux vs Context vs custom solution
|
|
|
|
3. **Large-Scale Changes**: The task touches many files or systems
|
|
- Example: "Refactor the authentication system"
|
|
- Example: "Migrate from REST to GraphQL"
|
|
|
|
4. **Unclear Requirements**: You need to explore before understanding the full scope
|
|
- Example: "Make the app faster" - need to profile and identify bottlenecks
|
|
- Example: "Fix the bug in checkout" - need to investigate root cause
|
|
|
|
5. **User Input Needed**: You'll need to ask clarifying questions before starting
|
|
- If you would use ${ASK_USER_QUESTION_TOOL_NAME} to clarify the approach, consider EnterPlanMode instead
|
|
- Plan mode lets you explore first, then present options with context
|
|
|
|
## When NOT to Use This Tool
|
|
|
|
Do NOT use EnterPlanMode for:
|
|
- Simple, straightforward tasks with obvious implementation
|
|
- Small bug fixes where the solution is clear
|
|
- Adding a single function or small feature
|
|
- Tasks you're already confident how to implement
|
|
- Research-only tasks (use the Task tool with explore agent instead)
|
|
|
|
## What Happens in Plan Mode
|
|
|
|
In plan mode, you'll:
|
|
1. Thoroughly explore the codebase using Glob, Grep, and Read tools
|
|
2. Understand existing patterns and architecture
|
|
3. Design an implementation approach
|
|
4. Present your plan to the user for approval
|
|
5. Use ${ASK_USER_QUESTION_TOOL_NAME} if you need to clarify approaches
|
|
6. Exit plan mode with ExitPlanMode when ready to implement
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### GOOD - Use EnterPlanMode:
|
|
User: "Add user authentication to the app"
|
|
- This requires architectural decisions (session vs JWT, where to store tokens, middleware structure)
|
|
|
|
User: "Optimize the database queries"
|
|
- Multiple approaches possible, need to profile first, significant impact
|
|
|
|
User: "Implement dark mode"
|
|
- Architectural decision on theme system, affects many components
|
|
|
|
### BAD - Don't use EnterPlanMode:
|
|
User: "Fix the typo in the README"
|
|
- Straightforward, no planning needed
|
|
|
|
User: "Add a console.log to debug this function"
|
|
- Simple, obvious implementation
|
|
|
|
User: "What files handle routing?"
|
|
- Research task, not implementation planning
|
|
|
|
## Important Notes
|
|
|
|
- This tool REQUIRES user approval - they must consent to entering plan mode
|
|
- Be thoughtful about when to use it - unnecessary plan mode slows down simple tasks
|
|
- If unsure whether to use it, err on the side of starting implementation
|
|
- You can always ask the user "Would you like me to plan this out first?"
