What's your Explore agent do? Also, uh, how did I not know you can use images in Terminal.

cannot stress hard enough that you should be using Plan mode basically always

Hey! Sorry for delay and thanks again for answers. Would you say that's true even for non-coding tasks? Have mostly just not thought Plan was for my use case (basically a conversational interface for my homelab, with MCP access to Docker tools.)

Like if it's just generally better at understanding it's environment in Plan and not going off half-cocked, that sounds like a plus, but if it's about working safely within a codebase, different story.

oh, fair enough - I'd say it's worth it if you want to do some sort of task or specific set of things. if you're just noodling around there's no need for it

Got it! Great advice. Big projects with stages and dependencies = Plan mode. Will try it maybe for Grafana/analytics setup and see how it goes.
