So I’m also using Codex atm, and the output of my ‘project-plan’ artifacts (in project dir) + all workflow related gating completely failed. I first thought it was a Claude thing. Stupid me, nope, Plan mode interferes with your own SDD workflows at all times. I’m relatively noob at this, but last week have been solidifying my workflows using strict intent / current specs, with active plans dictating user stories that propagate to centralized *.current.md / *.intent.md docs and .mmd for mermaid diagrams. But, it all completely goes to hell once you turn on plan mode. The frustrating thing about it is that it does not completely ignore your workflows, so all plans/<no>_<title>/PLAN.md STATUS.md etc were created, but no USER-STORIES and totally wrong marker assignments for tasks ([ ] [-] [R] [T] etc). So you might think it has something to do with your actual rules/workflows, but in fact it’s just plan mode overrides certain behavior in a way, while I was kind of hoping it would work the other way around. It was in fact a couple months ago working well, but it seems that plan mode in general across providers is seeing more instilled behavior that will dominate the model’s behavior. Just a heads up if you have been scratching your head over this. Plan mode has no actual benefits over your own workflows, if your workflows are equal or better. Plan mode is generic, and your workflows are tailored and thus should perform better. submitted by /u/Manfluencer10kultra
