We’re excited to share some big improvements to Plan Mode! You can now get inline Mermaid diagrams, and you have more control over how you build plans.
Inline Mermaid diagrams
The agent can automatically generate and stream visuals directly into your plans. Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and other Mermaid-supported formats render inline as the plan develops.
Send to-dos to new agents
You can now select specific to-dos from a plan and send them to new agents. This gives you more granular control over how work gets distributed, especially useful when you want different approaches or parallel execution for specific tasks.
Also in this release
Plans are now saved as files on disk by default. Agent plans are files that can be edited with normal tools.
We’d love your feedback!
How are the Mermaid diagrams working for your plans?
Tried sending to-dos to separate agents yet? We’re curious how people are using this!
How else can we make Plan Mode better for you?
If you’ve found a bug, please post it in Bug Reports instead, so we can track and address it properly, but also feel free to drop a link to it in this thread for visibility.
It looks like this is set behind a feature flag now – not sure what the status of that is. I can check, but might have to wait for a few people to return from .
Seems like it was buggy, so it was taken away for the moment. That said, Cursor devs are also asking it, so it has a chance of coming back! Thanks for telling us you miss it, that’s super important feedback.
@Colin Plan mode works well until you “save” it to your repo.
Then the bugs start.
the “to do” list disappears
the “build” button does not work
I always save plans since I want them in my repo, I keep them in /sprint folders /complete /inpgrogress and have multiple sprints/plans/prd in motion via using plans.
Storing ideas, planning is critical with these models since I have multi agents improving plans to achieve optimum implementation.
All of which fails hard, when the yaml file gets corrupted and the models fail to use the plan saying “can’t access to do list” etc.
I wish the markdown plan files were not fixed-width or could be configured to be wider. I have a 27” screen and there is so much wasted blank space that the plan could fit into.
The inline Mermaid diagrams render very small text, can we get the ability to make them bigger, scalable, larger text? Scalable Mermaid diagram?
Whilst typing up feedback on my plan, it would be nice to drag a window and be able to select some of the mermaid diagram to reference it.
Closing this thread since it has been a while since this was announced. Any new questions, or loose ends from this thread should be filed as new reports in the appropriate forum category!
