Claude Code's EnterPlanMode tool is designed to shift the AI's operational workflow from a "think while writing" approach to a more structured planning phase. This mode enforces read-only exploration, preventing Claude from making changes until the user explicitly approves a proposed plan. This aims to improve alignment between the AI and user by ensuring the AI understands the full scope of a task, such as a complex refactoring involving authentication modules, before any code modifications are made. AI
