Description
Plan mode previously offered an option to clear context before executing an approved plan. This behavior has stopped occurring.
Expected behavior
When a plan is approved via ExitPlanMode, the user should be presented with an option to clear context before execution begins. This is important because:
- Planning conversations consume significant context window (exploration agents, design discussion, iterative plan edits)
- Implementation needs the freed context headroom, especially for multi-file plans
- The user should not have to manually remember the plan file path after clearing -- the system should handle the plan file reference seamlessly
Current behavior
ExitPlanMode approves the plan and immediately begins execution without offering to clear context. The user must manually run /clear and then remember/re-reference the plan file path.
Impact
- Context pressure during implementation of complex plans
- Manual workaround required (user runs
/clearthen re-prompts with plan path) - Regression from prior behavior that users relied on
Environment
- Claude Code CLI on Windows 11
- Model: claude-sonnet-4-6 / claude-opus-4-6
