Feature: Seamless Plan-to-Build handoff with context retention #6781
Description
Problem
When using Plan mode to design an implementation, switching to Build mode requires:
- Pressing Tab to switch agents
- Re-explaining what to build (e.g., "go ahead and implement it")
This creates friction and redundancy since the plan context is already established.
Proposed Solution
After completing a plan, the Plan agent should:
- Suggest switching to Build mode (e.g., "Ready to build? Press Tab to switch and I'll start implementing.")
- When user presses Tab, Build agent should automatically continue with the plan without requiring the user to re-prompt
Essentially: Plan agent hands off context to Build agent seamlessly.
Expected Behavior
User (Plan mode): "Plan how to add dark mode toggle"
Agent: [Creates detailed plan]
Agent: "Plan complete. Press Tab to switch to Build mode and start implementing."
User: [Presses Tab]
Agent (Build mode): [Immediately starts implementing based on the plan - no re-prompting needed]
Current Behavior
User (Plan mode): "Plan how to add dark mode toggle"
Agent: [Creates detailed plan]
User: [Presses Tab]
Agent (Build mode): [Waits for user input]
User: "Go ahead and implement the plan" <-- redundant step
Additional Context
This would make the Plan/Build workflow much more fluid, especially for complex multi-step implementations where the plan context is critical.

Hey @lout33, you could create a new primary agent to achieve this, without changing the behavior of the default agents for the rest of us.
