Modes

Vesper Code currently has one normal working mode and one planning toggle.

  • Normal - the default coding workflow
  • Plan - planning only, without file edits

Normal

Normal mode is what you get when you start vesper:

  • Spawns file pickers and code searchers to gather context
  • Uses the editor agent for code changes
  • Spawns thinker for complex problems
  • Runs code review after changes
  • Validates with typechecks and tests

Plan

Planning mode. No file writes.

  • Gathers context about your codebase
  • Asks clarifying questions when needed
  • Outputs a concrete plan/spec
  • Includes requirements, constraints, and relevant files

Use this to scope out work before implementing, or to discuss approaches without making changes.

Toggle it with:

/plan

Run /plan again to return to normal mode.
