For me, working mostly in Planning Mode skips much of the initial misfires, and often leads to correct outcomes for the first edit.

Recently I’ve been taking a step back and getting ChatGPT 5 to ask me questions to create a spec.

I refine that spec and then give that to planning mode and then go from there.

I’ve found if I jump straight into planning mode I miss some critical aspects of what ever it is I am building.
