What is the difference between "agent" and "normal" modes?

Discussion

So far the only one I can notice is ability to run terminal commands.

Agent mode

  • Can complete tasks by itself using the command line.
  • Can determine which files are needed as context by itself.
  • Know what should do in next step.

Normal mode

  • Cannot use the command line.
  • Requires the user to specify the context.
  • Wait for your command for next step.

It doesn’t seem to have access and the code it suggests clearly doesn’t follow signatures of api-client. So I assume I still need to supply the context myself?

And I cannot reference a folder anymore. And when I reference a file it is not able to grab its contents?

And I cannot switch back to normal mode either, 'cause switch is gone.

Wow. Just wow.

So, you still need to specify the context for it in person because it cannot accurately find the appropriate file every time. :joy:

Agent mode operates autonomously with proactive tasks, while normal mode requires user-driven, reactive interactions.
