Repeated Plan Creation Failures in Composer 1 (“Invalid String to Replace” / Timeout)

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the create_plan tool in Composer 1 when creating or editing plans.

Bug: When the tool can’t find valid strings to replace in the plan after several attempts, it times out with the error “Invalid String to Replace”.

Workaround:

  • Copy the markdown content of the plan
  • Open a new agent window
  • Paste the copied plan and continue working there

Similar: Cursor planning mode crash

To pass this to the engineers, please share:

  • Request ID of the stuck request (chat menu top right > Copy Request ID, with Privacy Mode off)
  • Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console (screenshot of errors at timeout)
  • Reproduction steps: what exactly you asked to do with the plan before the error

I’ll attach your report to the existing issue.
