Plan Mode

Plan Mode shows you what Meku intends to build before it writes any code. Review the plan, request changes, and approve it when it looks right. Meku builds only after you confirm.

By default, Meku generates code immediately after you send a prompt. Plan Mode adds a step in between. You describe what you want, Meku outlines the approach as a structured plan, and you decide whether to proceed. This gives you control over scope and direction before any credits are spent on generation.

Using Plan Mode

How to enable it

Click the Plan button in the prompt bar at the bottom of the editor. When Plan Mode is active, your next prompt will return a plan instead of generated code.

How it works

• Enable Plan Mode from the prompt bar.
• Describe what you want to build or change.
• Meku returns a structured plan outlining what it will do.
• Review the plan and request adjustments if needed.
• Approve the plan to start code generation.

Meku only writes code after you approve. If the plan looks wrong, you can ask Meku to revise it before committing.

When to use plan mode

Plan Mode is useful when:

• You are starting a large or complex feature and want to confirm the scope before building
• You are unsure how to phrase your prompt and want to see what Meku understood
• You want to catch misunderstandings early before they affect the codebase
• You are working with a team and need to align on what will be built before it happens

For small edits and quick changes, sending a direct prompt without Plan Mode is faster.

Editing a plan before approving

After Meku returns a plan, you can reply in the chat to refine it. Ask Meku to add, remove, or adjust parts of the plan before approving. Treat it as a conversation until the plan reflects exactly what you want.

Only click approve when you are satisfied. Once approved, Meku moves into code generation, and credits are consumed.

Credits and when to use them

Credit usage

Generating a plan uses a small amount of credits. The larger credit usage happens when you approve the plan and Meku generates the actual code. Rejecting a plan without approving it keeps generation costs low.

Turning plan mode off

Click the Plan button again in the prompt bar to disable Plan Mode. Your next prompt will generate code directly without showing a plan first.
