What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear It is not clear whether this version of the tool is the one in use, since the captured stock description did not change.
What
Plan mode is where Claude works out a plan and shows it to you for approval before making changes. ExitPlanMode is the tool Claude uses to leave plan mode and present the plan. A new version of its instructions makes the plan text optional, telling Claude to "Leave it out when plan mode's reminder has you keep the plan in a Claude Doc."
The stock ExitPlanMode description captured under this release is unchanged from the previous capture.
Why
Plan mode can approve a plan written in a Claude Doc instead of one written into the message.
