Part of the autonomous execution loop:Agent Mode
Plan Mode is Lovable's Agent feature: Brainstorm and design before any code is written.
Plan Mode is Lovable's planning and reasoning mode. It reasons across multiple steps, inspects files/logs/context, and proposes a formal plan you can inspect, edit, and approve. Plan Mode never modifies code — the latest approved plan is saved to .lovable/plan.md and earlier plans remain in chat history.
Plan Mode runs inside Agent Mode — the loop that plans, edits, and verifies work end to end.
Capabilities
- Multi-step reasoning across files and logs
- Clarifying questions before proposing changes
- Editable, markdown-rendered plans
- Approve to hand off to Agent Mode
- Plans persisted to .lovable/plan.md
Use cases
- Scope a new feature before spending build credits
