When that tool is available, the reminder Claude gets in plan mode now notes that the plan goes to it. If that changes during a session, Claude gets the full reminder again.\n\nIn some cases Claude Code also no longer reads the plan from the plan file, where it used to always do so.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how the plan-mode instructions and the plan itself reach Claude.\n\n- Area: Plan Mode\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
