Planning mode prioritizes control and visibility through reviewable artifacts, while Fast mode optimizes for speed on straightforward tasks. Effective usage involves choosing based on task complexity, stakes, and familiarity—using Planning for architectural work and unknowns, Fast for iterations and fixes. Users can switch modes mid-session and often combine both: Planning for initial features, then Fast for refinements.
