Priority order when multiple modes could apply: 1. Process modes first (/brainstorm, /debug) -- determine HOW to approach the task 2. Implementation modes second (/write-plan, /execute-plan) -- guide execution 3. Completion modes last (/verify, /finish) -- close out work Reference: Mode Tool The mode tool allows programmatic mode transitions.

This is useful when agents need to request transitions during automa
