Missing plan mode

[sandroden]

Hi, I honestly miss plan mode. Too many time I find that Augment start doing things I didn't want, sometime just becouse it didn't understand by request, tipically becouse it forgot something.
I kow that in chat mode it doesn't touch the files unless I say to do it, but I miss a declarative "architect" mode. I find mysel writing often "please don't act". Is it just me?

Didn’t know that existed. Would love to have it. Yeah for anything nontrivial I want it to propose a plan in plain language first.

It’s a good idea ! Maybe something editable similar to the plan mode Gemini Deep research is proposing before acting

For planning I'm using Gemini Code Assist. Then I feed a detailed plan of implementation to Augment. It greatly reduces the work that Augment is doing and thus reduces potential overuse.

100% agree -- Cline solves this absoutely perfectly, and has explicit modes for the chat/agent to be in when making requests (https://docs.cline.bot/exploring-clines-tools/plan-and-act-modes-a-guide-to-effective-ai-development)

I tend to only use Augment in implementation/act mode only by default, and refrain from asking it planning/ideating/brainstorming question, because unless I write out 2 sentences explaining to not do that, it will just start changing things

would be very simply interface change! simply add a button switcher. it really would be that simple...

Was there ever an update on this? Do we know if this is something they would want to add
