Anthropic weighs killing Claude Code plan mode, sparking debate on whether models still need plans
iamrobotbear · x · 2026-09-24
An Anthropic employee (@trq212) says the team is considering removing Claude Code's plan mode in favor of a shift+tab effort-level hotkey, arguing models no longer need plan mode. User iamrobotbear pushes back: with Every's compound engineering ce-plan workflow, skipping plans still degrades results on many complex tasks. The thread highlights a real divide in coding-agent workflows over whether explicit planning remains necessary.
