Enable Plan mode to get a reviewable plan before the agent does any work.
In Plan mode the agent reads your task, writes a step-by-step plan, and stops. You review the plan and send any message — for example "Build" or feedback — to continue. This is useful for complex tasks where you want to confirm direction before the agent acts.
- In the composer, click the "+" menu and choose Plan mode. A "Plan" chip appears in the composer.
- Type your task and send.
- The agent returns a plan.
- Review it and reply (for example, "Looks good, go ahead" or "Change step 2 to...").
Where: Web: composer "+" menu › Plan mode. Mac: composer "+" menu › Plan mode. CLI: add --plan to sky session message.
Good to know: Plan mode is available on every agent. The plan is part of the chat, so you can refer back to it later. Related: Start a new chat, Set a goal for an ongoing chat.
