Each mode has its own purpose, instructions, and tool access, so you can get started quickly without having to configure anything.

How to change modes

To use a mode, choose it from the mode dropdown menu in the bottom-left corner of Qodo. Once selected, the mode stays active across messages, adapting to your session’s needs and maintaining context as you go.
