Plan Mode

Plan mode is read-only. Nothing is written to your composition and no build is spent. The agent's job is to produce a written plan you either approve or send back for changes.

Switch to it with the Plan toggle in the composer, or press Shift+Tab.

When to use it

Plan mode earns its keep when:

• The direction is still open and you want to think out loud.
• The video is long or multi-scene and a wrong first build is expensive.
• Several people need to agree before anything gets made.
• You are on the free plan and want your one daily build to count.

If you already know exactly what you want, skip it and brief Build directly.

The flow

1. Answer a few questions

On a fresh plan, fluos usually opens a short questionnaire instead of guessing — audience, format, tone, duration, must-have beats. It steps through one question at a time, most with preset choices plus a Something else? field if none fit.

Everything is optional, but the more you answer the tighter the plan. Press Generate plan on the review step when you are done.

2. Read the plan

fluos writes a structured plan: the concept, the scene-by-scene breakdown, pacing, and what it intends for typography, color, and motion. It appears as a card in the thread marked Plan ready.

3. Approve or revise

The plan card gives you two actions:

• Implement — switches the composer to Build and starts the build from the approved plan.
• Request changes — opens a feedback box ("What should change in this plan?"). Send your notes and fluos revises the plan, still without building.

You can revise as many times as you want. Revisions do not consume builds.

Questions in Plan mode

Plan mode is also just a good place to ask things. "What would you do differently for LinkedIn?" or "Is 45 seconds too long for this?" get a straight answer with no plan document produced and no build consumed.
