PLANNING MODE

Think before touching files.

Shift+Tab enters plan mode. Claude proposes a plan, you approve or adjust before it touches a single file.

For any task past 15 minutes of execution, planning mode pays for itself. You fix in the plan in 30 seconds what would cost 10 minutes of undo.

For tweak this copy, it is overhead. Use judgment.

In practice

  Magic Link and GitHub, falling back to
  email/password if OAuth fails

# Claude answers with a plan in bullets.
# You correct it before it touches a file.
