Plan and Debug Modes
1 min read

Switch the Agent between Build, Plan, and Debug modes from the chat input. Each mode changes how Hercules plans, explains, and writes code for your App.
- Build mode. The default. Hercules biases toward making changes immediately, with less back-and-forth.
- Plan mode. Hercules interviews you, drafts Milestones, and confirms before writing code. Cheaper and more accurate for large features.
- Debug mode. Hercules investigates root causes, proposes hypotheses, and attempts fixes in the most likely order. Best for tracking down bugs or when the Agent is not doing what you ask.
To get started, pick a mode from the toggle below the chat input in the App Builder. Learn more in the Agent Modes docs.
