Prompts tagged "plan mode" in the PromptCraft library.
Applies the spirit of Plan Mode so Claude Code hands over a structured plan (files affected, steps, risks, acceptance criteria) before touching any file—you review, correct, and approve it before execution begins. Prevents the AI from charging ahead and writing a pile of things you didn't want.
Turns a vague requirement into a full Codex workflow: first force it to nail down a 'definition of done,' use plan mode to produce a plan for your approval, then implement in small steps, run its own tests, and finally produce a reviewable diff with verification evidence.
A large-refactor playbook for agents: first do a read-only survey of the 'blast radius' — which files, call sites, and tests are affected — then split the change into small batches, each preserving behavior, each run through its own tests, each its own atomic commit. Puts an end to 'change 40 files at once, then the build breaks and no one knows where to start fixing it.'
