Agent fails to show plan content in chat when requesting informal agreement #25042

What would you like to be added?

When the agent is in Plan Mode and seeks informal agreement on a strategy or plan, it often fails to display the actual content of the plan in the chat response. Even when the user explicitly asks to "see the plan," the agent may provide a high-level summary instead of dumping the content of the drafted plan file.

This behavior makes it difficult for the user to review the plan in the terminal and provide informed feedback or approval.

Why is this needed?

  1. The agent creates a plan file.
  2. The user asks "let me see the plan" or agent is asking for informal agreement.
  3. The agent reads the file and outputs its full content in the chat response.

Additional context

  • The agent is bound by strict Operational Guidelines such as "Minimal Output" (aim for fewer than 3 lines of text output whenever practical).
  • The Planning Workflow instructions did not explicitly mandate that the agent must print the plan content when presenting it for discussion or when requested.
