What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ AI CODING ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
An operating mode where a coding agent produces a proposed step-by-step approach for review before making any actual changes, separating deliberation from execution.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Always check plan mode first now, caught a completely wrong approach before it touched a single file."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard feature in coding-agent tools that emerged once users demanded a way to check an agent's reasoning before it started editing files, rather than discovering its plan only through its actions.
