Feature: Auto-switch model between Plan Mode and execution
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 17, 2026 by stefan007007 Closed Apr 21, 2026
Request
Automatically switch to a different model when entering/exiting Plan Mode:
- When
EnterPlanModeis called → switch to Opus - When
ExitPlanModeis called → switch back to default model (Haiku in my case)
Motivation
Plan Mode benefits from a more powerful model for architecture design, while execution should use a faster/cheaper model. Currently requires manual toggling via /fast and /model.
Current Workaround
/fastbefore planning (enables Opus)/model haikuafter planning- Not ideal for frequent iterations
Implementation Notes
This would require:
- Hooks on
EnterPlanModeandExitPlanModeevents that can trigger model configuration changes - Or: Built-in plan-mode model configuration in settings.json (e.g.
planModeModel: "opus")
