remember to use Plan mode folks

Plan mode

- By default, Claude can be over-eager to jump in to problems, and often gets lost. The solution: plan mode
- Enter plan mode by typing /plan
- You and Claude iterate on a “Plan” (i.e. markdown doc)
- Claude can ask you questions (prompt him to do it more often by telling him to use the “AskUserQuestion” tool)
- The more time you spend here, the better he’ll do
- Once you’re ready, he’ll implement with a fresh context

Then you have multiple apps for plan mode on steroids - superpowers - get-shit-done - all of the Ralph apps

You should not become reliant on the orchestration systems buried in Claude Use hooks to block plan mode. Write your own plans. 🙂 Maybe beads?

I think claude's plan mode is basically useless and a waste of tokens. I have been playing around with superpowers this week and that is a totally different ball game.

If I have a fresh session critique a plan, it very often finds problems I missed. A couple of iterations of this can make the plan a lot more robust. Probably a way to automate this, though I haven't done that yet
