Modes

How it works

1. The mode is at the foot of the message box, beside +. There are four, the same for every agent: Ask first asks you for leave, Edit freely changes files without asking, Plan only plans and changes nothing, and Full access never asks. /plan switches to Plan only.
2. When the agent needs you, its question sits at the top of the message box. Press a choice, or type its number. Several questions are answered a step at a time and sent together.
3. A permission shows what it is for, with Deny, Allow for this session and Allow. Enter allows and Esc denies.
4. A plan the agent wants to go ahead with offers Approve and Keep planning.
5. Anything you type in the box and send is your answer, in your own words.

Good to know

• What you answered stays in the conversation.
• Allow for this session is offered only where the agent can remember it.
• In Plan only, Codex answers with its plan and does not ask to go ahead.
• The mode you choose is the one the next new loop in that workspace starts in.
