New Features

Plan Mode

• New interactive planning feature: Claude can now present implementation plans before writing code
• When tackling complex coding tasks, Claude will:
• Analyze requirements and create a structured plan
• Present the plan in markdown format for your review
• Wait for your approval before proceeding with implementation
• Usage: Automatically activated for implementation tasks requiring code changes
• Example: When you ask "Help me implement dark mode for my app", Claude will first present a plan outlining the steps before making any code changes

Exit Plan Mode Tool

• New exit_plan_mode tool allows Claude to transition from planning to implementation
• Supports markdown-formatted plans for better readability
• Distinguishes between research tasks (no plan needed) and implementation tasks (plan recommended)
