Description

Detects heavy agentic usage with no use of plan mode, which helps the agent understand scope before implementation.

When Triggered

{{extra.agenticReqs}} agentic requests but no use of plan mode. Jumping straight to implementation often leads to wrong approaches.

How to Improve

Use plan mode (or /plan) before complex tasks. Planning helps the agent understand scope, break down work, and avoid wasted iterations.

Examples

Switch to Plan mode in the mode picker before starting large features Use /plan to outline an approach before coding Plan first, then switch to Agent mode to execute

Detection Logic

scan: requests
match: agentMode == "agent" OR agentName != ""
aggregate: count
agentRatio: count / total
planUsage: someWhere(all, "slashCommand", "plan") OR \
  someWhere(all, "agentMode", "matches", "(?i)plan"slashCommand", "plan") OR \
  someWhere(all, "agentMode", "matches", "(?i)plan")
agenticReqs: count
check: planUsage == 0 AND total >= thresholds.minReqs AND agentRatio >= thresholds.agentRate
