Understanding Agentforce Vibes Modes: Plan, Act, and Deep Planning
Summary
Agentforce Vibes provides three intelligent AI modes—Plan, Act, and Deep Planning—that let Salesforce teams control how tasks are handled by AI agents. Plan Mode breaks down tasks into structured steps before execution, perfect for design or review phases; Act Mode executes tasks immediately for clear, operational needs; and Deep Planning Mode offers a strategic, architect-level approach for complex projects by deeply analyzing codebase, asking clarifying questions, and generating detailed plans. Using these modes appropriately can help Salesforce professionals improve efficiency, reduce errors, and manage both simple and complex workflows effectively. The article also guides how to enable each mode within VS Code using the Agentforce extension.
Takeaways
- Use Plan Mode to structure tasks and outline steps before execution.
- Enable Act Mode for quick, clear-cut execution of approved tasks.
- Leverage Deep Planning Mode for complex, architect-level Salesforce projects.
- Follow specific VS Code steps to toggle between Agentforce Vibes modes.
- Deep Planning includes a phased approach: investigation, questions, planning, and task creation.
Agentforce Vibes introduces intelligent modes that define how an AI agent approaches a task. Instead of responding the same way to every request, these modes allow users to control whether the agent should first think and structure, immediately execute, or deeply analyze a complex problem. The three core modes Plan, Act, and Deep Planning are designed to support different levels of decision-making and execution. Understanding these modes helps teams work more efficiently, reduce errors, and get more predictable results from Agentforce. Plan Mode: Structured Thinking Before Execution Plan Mode is used when you want the agent to focus on thinking and organizing before taking action. In this mode, the agent breaks down the task into clear steps, highlights dependencies, and outlines a logical approach without immediately executing anything.
