Now, before we dive deeper into Agent mode
engineering and adding images and adding useful context and
working across multiple files, I briefly wanna talk about the
other two modes you see here. A background mode is a mode I'll
show you later, which allows you to give an agent a
task here, just as I did it in the last lecture.
But then this task will not be executed here on your
machine, but instead in the cloud.
And for that, you must have a GitHub repository.
So your code must be pushed to GitHub.
You can then choose which branch to work on, and then the
agent will work in the cloud and make a pull request to your
GitHub repository. And we'll see that in action later.
Plan is a mode where it will actually first make a detailed
plan by gathering lots of information from across your entire code
base, in case that would consist of multiple
that plane and switch to Agent mode once the plan is done.
So it's like an intermediate step you might want to execute if you're
trying to do very complex changes and you therefore want to spend
extra time and effort on planning, that's when you can switch to Plan
mode. We'll see that again later once we start
project. For now, let's go back to Agent mode
into what we can do there.
