Or tweak Ask mode for deeper research queries? Done. Plus, you can define these via **mode-specific `.clinerules-[mode]` files**. You’ll find all of this in the new **Prompts** tab in the top menu.

**Switching Modes:**

It’s super simple! There’s a dropdown in the bottom left of the chat input to switch modes. Right next to it, you’ll find a way to switch between the API configuration profiles associated with the current mode (configured on the settings screen).

**Why Add This?**
34
-
- It keeps Cline from being overly eager to jump into solving problems when you just want to think or ask questions.
35
-
- Each mode remembers the API configuration you last used with it. For example, you can use more thoughtful models like OpenAI o1 for Architect and Ask, while sticking with Sonnet or DeepSeek for coding tasks.
36
-
- It builds on research suggesting better results when separating "thinking" from "coding," explained well in this very thoughtful [article](https://aider.chat/2024/09/26/architect.html) from aider.

Right now, switching modes is a manual process. In the future, we’d love to give Cline the ability to suggest mode switches based on context. For now, we’d really appreciate your feedback on this feature.
