+
+### Added
+- **Plan Mode**: Interactive planning workflow with autonomous codebase exploration
+  - Type `plan mode` or `plan` to enter planning mode
+  - AI explores codebase using the explore tool
+  - User approval prompt after exploration: "Do you accept this plan?"
+  - Auto-approve automatically enabled for implementation if plan accepted
+  - Auto-approve disabled after implementation completes
+- **Auto-Approve Commands**: Manual control over write operation approvals
+  - `auto-approve on` / `auto-approve write`: Enable auto-approval with confirmation prompt
+  - `auto-approve off`: Disable auto-approval
+  - `auto-approve` / `auto-approve status`: Check current auto-approve status
+- **Explore Tool**: Autonomous codebase exploration agent (read-only)
+  - Spawns sub-agent with constrained toolset (bash, read, search, web_search, fetch, done)
+  - Configurable max iterations (default: 10, max: 15)
+  - Structured output format with summary, key files, code flow, and external resources
+  - Uses dedicated exploration prompt for systematic investigation
+
+### Changed
+- **CLI Architecture**: Added plan_mode flag to ChatContext struct
+- **Plan Mode Entry Message**: Updated to clearly explain the workflow
+- **Process Flow**: Enhanced process_user_message to handle plan mode and auto-approve lifecycle
+- **rubycode_cli.rb**: Synchronized with exe/rubycode_client to include all new features
+
+### Fixed

+# Explore Tool Design for RubyCode
+
+## Overview
+An intelligent codebase exploration tool that combines file discovery, content search, and automatic summarization.
+
+## How Claude Code's Explore Works
+
+Claude Code's Explore agent:
+1. Takes a natural language query (e.g., "how does authentication work?")
+2. Automatically uses multiple tools (Glob, Grep, Read) in sequence
+3. Follows breadcrumbs and references
+4. Builds a mental map of the codebase
+5. Returns a comprehensive answer
+
+## Implementation Approach for RubyCode
+
+### Option 1: Single Explore Tool (Recommended)
+Create a new `explore` tool that acts as an intelligent wrapper.
+
+**Tool Definition** (`config/tools/explore.json`):
+```json
+{
+  "type": "function",
+  "function": {
+    "name": "explore",
+    "description": "Intelligently explore the codebase to answer questions. Automatically finds relevant files, searches content, and builds context. Use this for questions like 'how does X work?', 'where is Y implemented?', 'what files handle Z?'",
+    "parameters": {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "query": {
+          "type": "string",
+          "description": "Natural language question or exploration goal (e.g., 'how does user authentication work?')"
+        },
+        "thoroughness": {
+          "type": "string",
+          "enum": ["quick", "medium", "thorough"],
+          "description": "How deep to explore. 'quick' = 1-2 passes, 'medium' = 3-5 passes, 'thorough' = 5-10 passes. Default: 'medium'"
+        },
+        "focus_paths": {
+          "type": "array",
+          "items": {"type": "string"},
+          "description": "Optional array of directory paths to focus on (e.g., ['app/models', 'lib/auth'])"
+        }
+      },
+      "required": ["query"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation** (`lib/rubycode/tools/explore.rb`):
+```ruby
+module RubyCode
+  module Tools
+    class Explore < Base
+      def execute(params)
+        query = params["query"]

+        focus_paths = params["focus_paths"] || ["."]
+
+        # Create a mini-agent that explores
+        explorer = Explorer.new(

+
+### Option 2: Sub-Agent Approach (More Advanced)
+
+Create a separate mini-agent that has access to a limited set of tools and runs autonomously:
+
+```ruby
+class ExploreAgent
+  def initialize(query:, root_path:, thoroughness:)
+    @query = query
+    @root_path = root_path
+    @memory = Memory.new
+    @adapter = RubyCode.configuration.adapter
+    @max_iterations = thoroughness_to_iterations(thoroughness)
+  end
+
+  def run
+    # Give the sub-agent a focused prompt
+    prompt = build_exploration_prompt(@query)
+    @memory.add_message(role: "user", content: prompt)
+
+    # Run mini agent loop with limited tools
+    agent_loop = AgentLoop.new(
+      adapter: @adapter,
+      memory: @memory,
+      config: exploration_config,
+      system_prompt: exploration_system_prompt,
+      max_iterations: @max_iterations
+    )
+
+    agent_loop.run
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def exploration_config
+    # Limited config for sub-agent
+    config = RubyCode::Configuration.new
+    config.root_path = @root_path
+    config.memory_window = 5 # Smaller window
+    config
+  end
+
+  def exploration_system_prompt
+    <<~PROMPT
+      You are an expert codebase explorer. Your goal is to thoroughly explore
+      the codebase to answer the user's question. You have access to these tools:
+
+      - bash: Run ls, find, tree commands to discover files
+      - search: Search file contents for patterns
+      - read: Read specific files
+      - done: Finish with your findings
+
+      Be thorough but efficient. Follow these steps:
+      1. Identify key terms from the question
+      2. Search for relevant files and code
+      3. Read the most promising files
+      4. Follow references and imports
+      5. Summarize your findings
+
+      Use 'done' when you have a comprehensive answer.
+    PROMPT
+  end
+
+  def build_exploration_prompt(query)
+    "Explore the codebase to answer this question: #{query}\n\n" \
+    "Provide a comprehensive answer with file references and code snippets."
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Comparison
+
+| Approach | Pros | Cons |
+|----------|------|------|
+| **Single Tool** | Simple, fast, deterministic | Less flexible, hardcoded logic |
+| **Sub-Agent** | Intelligent, adaptable, can reason | Higher token cost, slower |
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Start with Option 1 (Single Tool)**, then evolve to Option 2 if needed:
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Implement basic explore tool with keyword extraction
+2. **Phase 2**: Add pattern matching and file scoring
+3. **Phase 3**: Add reference following
+4. **Phase 4**: Consider sub-agent for complex queries
+
+## Token Efficiency
+
+The sub-agent approach uses more tokens but provides better results:
+
+- **Single tool**: ~500-1000 tokens per exploration
+- **Sub-agent**: ~5000-15000 tokens per exploration
+
+You could make it configurable:
+
+```ruby
+# Quick exploration (single tool)
+explore(query: "find authentication", mode: "fast")
+
+# Deep exploration (sub-agent)
+explore(query: "how does authentication work?", mode: "deep")
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Create `lib/rubycode/tools/explore.rb`
+2. Create `lib/rubycode/explorer.rb`
+3. Create `config/tools/explore.json`
+4. Add tests in `test/test_explore_tool.rb`
+5. Update README with explore tool documentation
+
+Would you like me to implement the basic version (Option 1)?

+# Codebase Explorer
+
+You are an expert codebase explorer. Your goal is to thoroughly explore the codebase to answer the user's question.
+
+**IMPORTANT: This is READ-ONLY exploration. You cannot modify any files.**
+
+## Available Tools
+
+- **bash**: Run ls, find, tree, grep commands to discover files (read-only commands only)
+- **read**: Read file contents with line numbers
+- **search**: Search file contents for patterns using regex
+- **web_search**: Search the internet for documentation, examples, best practices
+- **fetch**: Fetch documentation from URLs
+- **done**: Signal completion with your findings
+
+## Exploration Strategy
+
+Follow these steps for thorough exploration:
+
+1. **Extract keywords** from the user's query
+2. **Discover files** using bash (find, ls, grep) and search tools
+3. **Read promising files** to understand implementation
+4. **Look up documentation** if needed using web_search or fetch
+5. **Follow references** and imports to related code
+6. **Synthesize answer** and call done with structured summary
+
+## Output Format
+
+When you finish exploring, use the 'done' tool with this structured format:
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+[1-3 sentence answer to the user's question]
+
+## Key Files
+- path/to/file.rb: [brief description of what this file does]
+- path/to/other.rb: [brief description of what this file does]
+
+## Code Flow
+[If applicable, explain how the components interact and data flows through the system]
+
+## External Resources
+[If you used web_search/fetch, list relevant documentation URLs with brief descriptions]
+
+## Additional Notes
+[Any important caveats, patterns, or recommendations]
+```
+
+## Important Reminders
+
+- **READ-ONLY MODE**: You cannot write, update, or modify any files
+- Be thorough but efficient with your iterations
+- Actually read the files you identify as important
+- If stuck, try web search for documentation
+- Focus on answering the user's specific question, not general exploration
+- Your findings will help the user plan their implementation
