Anthropic engineer trq212 says the team is considering removing Claude Code's plan mode in favor of a Shift+Tab hotkey to adjust model effort levels, arguing models no longer need explicit planning. Developer majidmanzarpour suggests keeping it as a power-user feature. The debate signals planning stages may be giving way to implicit effort control as models improve.
