In Plan Mode, Verdent transforms informal ideas into implementation plans through structured requirement clarification. Collaborative dialogue and iterative refinement ensure alignment before implementation begins.

What You’ll Learn

  • Intelligent requirement clarification
  • Plan generation
  • Clarification Loop interactions

Intelligent Requirement Clarification

Verdent engages as a technical partner:
Multi-turn conversations to uncover implicit requirements:
  • Edge case identification and technical constraint discovery
  • Proactive ambiguity resolution before implementation
  • Iterative refinement through collaborative discussion

Clarification Loop

In Plan Mode, Verdent asks clarifying questions through an interactive questionnaire, allowing collaborative requirement confirmation before implementation.
  • Multiple choice - Select from predefined answer options
  • Custom answers - Craft your own answer when choices don’t fit
  • Mixed approach - Select an option and add custom clarification

Refinement Controls

Available interactions during the clarification loop:
  • Modify Options - Adjust the multiple choice options presented to better match your context
  • Skip Clarifications - Proceed with Verdent’s best judgment when requirements are clear enough
  • Rollback Changes - Revert to previous clarification state and resubmit different answers

Plan Generation

Verdent generates developer-ready plans that include:
  • High-level summary of goals, scope, and success criteria
  • Component structure and relationships
  • Data models and API contracts
  • Technology stack considerations

FAQs
