Plan Mode is a workflow where an AI coding agent clarifies requirements and creates an implementation plan before it starts editing code. Instead of jumping straight into files, the agent turns a vague request into structured steps.
This is useful for complex features, incomplete ideas, architectural decisions, and tasks that are expensive to redo. A good plan can surface missing constraints, identify edge cases, and show which parts of the project need to change.
Verdent's Plan Mode is built for this planning-first workflow. Its documentation describes structured requirement clarification, collaborative refinement, plan generation, and visible execution steps. For simple fixes, direct Agent Mode is faster. For bigger changes, Plan Mode gives the user a review point before code is written. That is why plan-first coding reduces rework: it catches misunderstanding earlier in the process.
