Summary
plan/planand the word plan in shell modeShift+Tabmode cycle and add thread-scoped dismissal withEscCleanShot.2026-04-28.at.10.38.14-converted.mp4
Why
The desktop app already nudges users toward Plan mode when their draft clearly signals planning intent. The TUI had the underlying
/planandShift+Tabflows, but no equivalent reminder at the moment the user was most likely to benefit from them.Details
The reminder is shown only when Plan mode is available, the draft contains standalone
plan, the user is not already in Plan mode, the composer is actionable, and the current thread has not dismissed the reminder. Slash-command and shell-command drafts are excluded.The first implementation used an extra composer row, but that moved the statusline whenever the heuristic fired. This version keeps the layout stable by rendering the reminder in the existing footer row instead.
