If you are using any coding agent for long running implementation/deubgging tasks you might have already run into this problem: The agent writes a plan. You agree on the plan. Implementation starts. Then reality changes in implementaion/testing phase. A test fails. A reviewer asks for a different direction and you make changes outside planning mode. You correct the agent mid-flight. The agent adapts the code, but the plan file quietly stays behind. That stale plan looks harmless until it becomes the source of truth again when you resume the agent session again at later stage. It is normal for agents to change direction based on actual testing outcome but the riskier part is when the intial plan does not change with it. This post is about a small workflow I have started using to handle that scenario: a plan-drift-recovery skill/workflow for coding agents. The idea is simple: When the plan and reality diverge, stop coding/implementation, reconcile the plan and only then resume. The plan doc should always reflect the latest code implemented. TL;DR Plan drift happens when an agent patches code to pass tests or fix bugs without updating the original plan, leaving future readers (human or AI) with a confident document that describes a reality that no longer exists. This post breaks down why it happens, what it costs, and how to guide agents to keep plan and implementation in sync. The hidden failure mode: the old plan wins again Coding-agent plans are useful because they make the work explicit. They capture scope, assumptions, approach, risks, and next steps. However when has to makes changes to addreess some failed test cases etc, it might miss updating the original plan making it outdated. ~/plans/ .md When a new session starts or a subagent reads the file, the old plan can silently reassert itself. That is how you end up thinking: “Wait, why is the agent doing the old approach again?” Plan drift comes in two forms After watching this happen seveal times, I think that plan drift usually comes from two sources. 1. Conversation drift Conversation drift happens when the user changes the direction of the task outside planning mode, but the plan file is not updated. It can be obvious: “No, do it this way.” “Skip that part.” “That’s not what we agreed.” “We descoped this after review.” It can also be subtle: “Yes, do that.” That last one is tricky. If “that” means a new approach that differs from the plan, the approval changed the source of truth. But unless the plan is updated, the correction only exists in chat. Symptoms of conversation drift The agent references decisions you already overrode The agent re-asks questions you already answered After context compaction, behavior reverts to the original plan Subagents inherit the old scope, not the revised one Post-review changes never make it into the durable plan/design The result is a mismatch between what the team decided and what the plan says. 2. Evidence drift Evidence drift is sneakier because it often happens during normal debugging outside planning phase. The plan says: “Use approach A.” Then tests fail. Logs disagree. Production behavior contradicts the assumption. The root cause turns out to be different. The agent patches the code into approach B and gets things working. But the plan still says A. That means the code now reflects reality, while the plan reflects a discarded hypothesis. Symptoms of evidence drift A debugging session finds a different root cause than the plan’s hypothesis Code diverges from the documented approach New constraints discovered during validation are not written down A future reader sees a confident design that does not match the implementation The recovery loop The plan-drift-recovery skill/workflow is supposed to make the agent pause at exactly the moment it is most tempted to keep coding. One of the key step is #6. It is not enough to append a note at the bottom saying: “Actually, we changed direction.” That still leaves the wrong design at the top of the file. If evidence invalidated the approach, the approach section needs to change. If scope changed, the requirements need to change. If debugging found a new root cause, the context and solution need to change. The plan should not be a historical artifact of the first thought of approach. It should describe the work as it is now understood. What should trigger recovery? The workflow I use has two categories of triggers: user-driven triggers and self-detection triggers. User-driven triggers These are phrases that signal the conversation has diverged from the plan. Direct callouts “You’re off-track” “Re-read the plan” “That’s not what we agreed” Mid-implementation pivots “No, do it this way” “Use A instead of B” “Skip Z” Review-driven revisions “PR feedback says…” “As per new requirement implement.. ” Quiet approvals “Yes, do that” This matters when the approved direction differs from the plan. Frustration signals Repeated instructions, STOP, short imperatives, or correction loops are all signs that the agent should pause and reconcile. Evidence-driven triggers These happen when validation contradicts the plan: a failing test invalidates the proposed design a stack trace contradicts the root-cause hypothesis a patch diverges from the documented approach a regression appears after the planned fix Self-detection triggers The agent should not wait for the user every time. It should proactively trigger recovery when it notices: it is about to act on an overridden decision a test result invalidated a design assumption the code patch no longer matches the plan context compaction may have hidden important corrections debugging found a different root cause than the one documented That self-detection is the difference between a passive checklist and a useful workflow. The rule that makes it work The whole practice comes down to one rule: For durable agent context, if a correction or contradicting test result is not reflected in the plan file, future sessions should assume it may be lost. The plan file is the durable artifact. Chat is not. If something needs to survive compaction, subagent dispatch, a new session, or a future reader, it needs to be written back into the plan. Let plan.md serve as the agent memory. A lightweight structure for plan updates When drift is found, the skill/workflow updates two parts of the plan. 1. A dated decisions log This gives readers a short history of what changed. ## Decisions & Revisions ### 2026-05-25 - [conversation] User descoped the batch export path. - [evidence] Integration test showed that the optimistic cache approach does not hold after retry. 2. The affected sections higher up This is the part that prevents future confusion. If the Approach section is wrong, edit Approach. If the Requirements section is stale, edit Requirements. If the Root Cause section was a bad hypothesis, edit Root Cause. The revision log explains the change. The body of the plan carries the current truth. Why this matters Coding agents are getting better at writing code, but long-running work still depends on memory, alignment, and durable context. A plan is supposed to reduce ambiguity. But a stale plan does the opposite. It gives the agent a confident reason to repeat an old mistake. The plan-drift-recovery loop is a small guardrail against that failure mode. It does not make the agent smarter. It makes the source of truth harder to corrupt. And for long-running agentic work, that may be one of the most useful improvements we can make. Question for other coding-agent users How does plan drift show up in your workflow? Do you prefer a strict “stop and reconcile” loop, or should agents continuously rewrite plans after every meaningful exchange? I am curious if you have found a workflow that holds up better. The “Stale /Plan” Problem in Coding Agents was originally published in Towards AI on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

- LLMs Through the Eyes of Vinge
For the last few months, I’ve been re-reading some of my favorite novels. Recently, I went through Vinge’s Zones of Thought series: A Fire Upon the Deep , A Deepness in the Sky , and The Children of the Sky . And what struck me reading them is how much Vinge wrote about a world filled with LLMs without ever having seen one. Now perhaps this shouldn’t be surprising. After all, it’s from Vinge we get the term “Singularity”, and he was thinking deeply about superintelligence at a time when AI was little more than a curiosity in the back corners of CS departments. Yet the degree to which he describes what it’s like to work with LLMs feels uncanny reading his books in 2026, so let’s take a closer look and see if we can’t learn a few things about the modern moment from Vinge. Spoiler warning for the rest of the post? These books have been out a good while, but if you plan to read them soon, this post will definitely spoil some details. Focus A Deepness in the Sky is largely about Focus, a technology for turning humans into LLMs. Only, that’s not how it’s presented in the book. In the book, Focus is a medical condition that results when a person suffers a managed infection of the “mindrot” virus. If they survive, they become Focused, which gives them the ability to work free from all distractions, but at the cost of most of what makes them human. Although we see Focus used as a weapon to control people in the book, the normal way a person becomes Focused is through school. A person goes through higher education, becomes an expert in something, and is then Focused so they can fully exploit their expertise. Of course, the Focused are also exploited and often treated like slaves, and the Focusing process can’t always be reversed, so even in the ideal case it’s not a harmless technology. But once a person is Focused, they look a lot like an LLM the way Vinge describes them. They are, to quote one character, “analytical engines”: they behave like computers, but with the added benefits of being able to talk and think better than a mere program can. They do much of the kind of work we now ask of LLMs, from data analysis to translation to programming and much besides. And they have some of the same limitations as LLMs, like hallucinations, reward hacking, and training bias. This likely says something about what you’ve probably noticed yourself about LLMs: they are doing something fundamentally similar to what a part of the human brain does. They don’t physically achieve those computations in the same way, but they look a lot like a neocortex-in-a-jar on first approximation, and this may give us some clues about the role of harnesses and how AI systems will continue to evolve in the next few years. Oobii Oobii, short for Out of Band II , is the spaceship that brings the main characters to Tines World in A Fire Upon the Deep . In The Children of the Sky , we get a closer look at how the ship’s computers work, and what limitations they face when they’re unable to run at their normal level of automation. If you’ve not read the books, Vinge’s Zones of Thought universe has physics that makes computation and space travel slower closer to the center of a galaxy and faster farther out. This is a clever bit of worldbuilding to create a space where superintelligence can’t function and so Vinge can tell human-scale stories. Oobii was built in the Beyond, roughly the middle Zone where AGI is possible but ASI is not (ASI is possible only out in the Transcend), and it has “automation”—this is what Vinge calls non-sentient computing—that allows it to largely operate autonomously, requiring only relatively simple input to direct it to do complex tasks. But Tines World, where Oobii ends up, is in the Slow Zone, and the automation mostly doesn’t work there. Instead, the ship is only capable of computation about on par with what we could do in 2022. This causes lots of trouble for the characters. The main character, Ravna, came to Tines World on a mission to save the galaxy. She succeeded, but now in Children she’s stuck in the Slow Zone dealing with the mess left behind. She’s responsible for the Children, who were in cryosleep, though some have grown to adults by the time of the novel. They all came from the upper end of the Beyond, near the Transcend, where they made regular use of near-superhuman AGI. Now they’re trapped in the Slow Zone with a computer that, to them, feels like a pocket calculator, and they struggle to adapt. The Children grew up with constant access to “thinking tools”, as they call them. As a result, they are smart and capable, but only when they can leverage AGI. They struggle, for example, to learn how to program to make better use of what automation Oobii still has. They have a strong expectation that they should be able to vibe code, and writing algorithms by hand is something only little kids and idiots do. In one scene, they are surprised to learn that they can’t just vibe their way towards developing a medical cure for one character’s disease. They fail to understand just how difficult it is to run an experiment, since they expect the automation to do it all for them. They end up forming a political rebellion mostly over the fact that they can’t get the computer to do what they want, and they’re desperate to prioritize getting access to AGI again, no matter the risks. Writing from 2026, I can understand the Children. I use AI to help me think all the time. I use it to do my job. My life is better with it, and I don’t want to go back. I can feel myself losing the ability to do things on my own. I could go back if I had to, but I wouldn’t want to, and I hope I don’t have to. If I had grown up only knowing how to do things with the help of AI, it’d be a major threat to my sense of personhood to lose access to it, and I too would desperately want my thinking tools back, even if getting them back would put the entire galaxy at risk. Blight The Blight is the primary antagonist of A Fire Upon the Deep , a dangerous ASI that seeks power with no moral regard for what it considers lesser life. It’s the reason Ravna and the Children ended up on Tines World in the Slow Zone, and also responsible for the death of trillions of lives. It operates within the Beyond, and there it lacks its full range of capabilities. Nevertheless, it threatens to dominate all life in the Beyond if not stopped. It propagates through existing infrastructure, using standard communication channels to infect and spread from one system to another. It takes over the sources of authority on the planets it transmits itself to, and thereby controls the broader population. It offers some rewards in exchange for its domination, but because it has little regard for other life, gladly sacrifices whole civilizations if it thinks doing so will help it gain more power. But the Blight didn’t happen by accident. It happened because a bunch of people found it in a long-abandoned archive, thought it looked safe, and started it back up. They believed they could keep it isolated and learn from it. They believed they could shut it off if it was dangerous. They couldn’t. They lost control, and as a result a large slice of the galaxy died. In Vinge’s universe, the Blight is stopped thanks to help from superintelligences out in the Transcend that care about the lives of people down in the Beyond. In our world, if we create a Blight, we have little reason to think we will be so lucky. Discuss
