Plan mode: turn research into an actionable plan - Brightstack Intro Tutorial

Once the direction is clear, switch to Plan. Bright can organize work, set goals, and map steps — but it still won’t mutate your workspace until you move to Agent.

Confirm decisions and request a plan

I agree. Let's go with Sentry and skip self-hosting.
I don't need Slack alerts or performance tracing yet. So that's not a blocker.
Let's create a plan that I can review before we take next steps.

What a good plan includes

Bright should return:

A clear issue breakdown
Key decisions (so the team shares the same context)
An out of scope list (so work doesn’t quietly expand)

Example issue breakdown

Create the Sentry org and project, note the DSN
Add SENTRY_DSN to your deployment environment
Install the Sentry SDK and wire error-handling middleware
Tag releases so errors map to the code that shipped them
Trigger a test error and verify the stack trace end-to-end

In software teams, alignment on what not to build is as important as the work itself. Capture those boundaries in the plan before anyone starts executing.

Next

Execute the plan in Agent mode.
