Claude Code drops planning mode: spend 95% of your time verifying output, not planning
casper_hansen_ · x · 2026-09-24
Casper Hansen notes that planning mode is being removed from Claude Code, superseded by the model's built-in reasoning ability. His workflow advice: don't frontload planning — spend 95% of your time verifying and understanding the model's output, then iterate based on what you find. This marks a shift in AI coding workflows from plan-first to verify-first iteration.
