 "title": "Get a reviewed plan before the agent edits code",
 "page_title": "How to get a reviewed plan before the agent edits code with Hermes Plan Mode",
 "summary": "Use /plan so the agent reads the code, asks questions, and waits for your approval before changing anything.",
 "who": "A developer who wants a change made in a repo but does not want the agent editing files before the approach is agreed.",
 "problem": "Core Hermes /plan is only a prompt, so the agent can still start changing files without a checkpoint.",
 "outcome": "The agent shows a written plan, you approve or revise it, and only then does it implement the change in the same turn with progress tracked in todo_list.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the plugin with `hermes plugins install 100yenadmin/hermes-plan-mode --ref <commit-sha> --enable`, replacing <commit-sha> with the 40-character SHA from the latest release notes. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Start a new Hermes session.",
  "Ask for the change with `/plan add a --dry-run flag to the import command`, using your own request.",
  "Answer any clarifying question the agent asks, then read the plan it shows.",
  "Choose \"Approve, auto-accept edits\" to let the agent implement the plan, or \"Keep planning\" to request changes."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Hermes session for the <repo-path> project, run /plan with the request: <change request>. Stay in planning until I approve, then implement the plan and report the files changed. Verify that no file was modified before approval.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Plan mode blocks only mutating tools dispatched through Hermes' pre_tool_call hook, so the README's known limitations still apply.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "A working Hermes Agent install that supports plugins",
  "The exact 40-character commit SHA of the latest plugin release, from its release notes",
  "A new Hermes session after installing, or a restart of running CLI, TUI and Desktop sessions",
  "For messaging platforms: a running Hermes gateway (`hermes gateway restart`)"
