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
