Enhanced Plan Mode Guidance #
What: The ExitPlanMode tool now includes comprehensive guidance on handling ambiguous requirements and unclear implementation approaches.
Details:
- Added "Handling Ambiguity in Plans" section to help Claude identify when clarification is needed at
OU8() at line 428198 - Claude will now proactively ask about:
- Multiple valid implementation approaches (e.g., architectural patterns)
- Library or framework choices
- Assumptions that could affect implementation
- Includes a new example demonstrating proper clarification workflow for authentication features
- Claude must now resolve ambiguities before proceeding with implementation
Impact: Users will experience fewer instances where Claude makes incorrect assumptions about implementation details. When requirements are unclear, Claude will ask targeted questions to understand the desired approach before writing code.
