Summary of Changes

Hello @jerop, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the documentation for the CLI's Plan Mode by introducing detailed explanations for the enter_plan_mode and exit_plan_mode tools. These additions provide a clearer understanding of how the agent interacts with Plan Mode, covering tool parameters, expected behaviors, and user confirmation processes, thereby improving the overall clarity of the planning workflow for users and developers.

Highlights

  • New Tool Documentation: Dedicated documentation was added for the enter_plan_mode and exit_plan_mode tools, detailing their purpose, parameters, behavior, and user confirmation flows.
  • Existing Documentation Updates: The plan-mode.md document was updated to clarify how natural language triggers the enter_plan_mode tool and to correctly reference the exit_plan_mode tool.
  • Tool Index Integration: A new 'Planning Tools' category was added to the main tools/index.md file, linking to the comprehensive planning tool documentation.
Changelog
  • docs/cli/plan-mode.md
    • Clarified the natural language trigger for enter_plan_mode by explicitly mentioning the tool call.
    • Corrected the numbering for exiting Plan Mode and added a linked reference to the exit_plan_mode tool.
    • Appended new reference links for enter_plan_mode and exit_plan_mode at the end of the document.
  • docs/tools/index.md
    • Introduced a new 'Planning Tools' category, linking to the newly created planning.md document.
  • docs/tools/planning.md
    • Added a new Markdown file providing detailed documentation for the enter_plan_mode and exit_plan_mode tools, including their functionalities, parameters, and interaction flows.
Activity
  • No specific activity (comments, reviews, or progress updates) was provided in the context.

Code Review

This pull request adds valuable documentation for the enter_plan_mode and exit_plan_mode tools, which is crucial for the experimental Plan Mode feature. The changes are well-structured and improve clarity. I've added a few suggestions to correct some minor inaccuracies in the new documentation to ensure it perfectly aligns with the tool's implementation.
