Plan mode keeps the agent in a read-only planning posture. Use it for discovery, architecture review, and implementation planning before allowing writes or commands.
autohand::AutohandSdk sdk(autohand::Config::from_environment().with_cwd("."));
sdk.start();
sdk.set_plan_mode(true);- Start in plan mode.
- Ask the agent to inspect and produce a plan.
- Stop and review the plan.
- Disable plan mode for the approved implementation.
- Handle permissions explicitly during execution.
sdk.set_plan_mode(true);
// discovery prompt
sdk.set_plan_mode(false);
// implementation promptPlan mode and permission mode are separate. Plan mode controls which tools are available; permission mode controls whether individual tool calls require approval.
