is Plan mode any different from telling Claude "this is what I'd like to do, please describe an implementation plan"?

that's generally my workflow and I have the results saved into a CLAUDE-X-plan.md. then review the plan and incrementally change it if the initial plan isn't right.

It also limits the tools available, reducing context usage and leaving more room actually to plan.

There's a bit of UI around it where you can accept the plan. I personally stopped using it and instead moved to a workflow where I simply ask it to write the plan in a file. It's much easier to edit and improve this way.

Yeah, I just have it generate PRDs/high-level plans, then break it down into cards in "Kanban.md" (a bunch of headers like "Backlog," "In-Progress", etc).

To be honest, Claude is not great about moving cards when it's done with a task, but this workflow is very helpful for getting it back on track if I need to exit a session for any reason.

i've experienced the same thing. usually i try to set up or have it set up a milestone/phase approach to an implementation with checklists (markdown style) but it's 50/50 if it marks them automatically upon completion.
