Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

In VSCode, the side panel view of the current plan document is gated behind ExitPlanMode, which also doubles as the approval trigger, so there's no way to refresh it mid-discussion without that also signaling "I'm done planning."

Proposed Solution

Remove the gating and allow Claude to show the plan for review before having to signal that the plan is done

Alternative Solutions

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

  1. Tell Clauide to stop running ahead for approval to refine the plan
  2. Make changes to the plan
  3. The document that Claude showed trying to run ahead with implimenting is sill shown unchanged
  4. Ask Claude to show the current plan... it can't
