Work Modes
10 specialized AI modes — each built for a specific type of development task. Choose the right mode and the AI adopts the optimal workflow.
Innovatic has a dedicated mode for every kind of development task. Choose the right mode and the AI adopts the workflow built for it — how it thinks, what it reads, what it produces.
The difference between guessing and knowing which mode to pick is the difference between three messages and one.
All 10 modes
| Mode | Category | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Feature | Development | Building something new — a component, integration, or spec implementation |
| Bug | Development | Investigating and fixing issues, regressions, or unexpected behavior |
| Plan | Planning | Complex tasks that need exploration and a structured approach before any code is written |
| Specforge | Planning | Turning a vague idea into a structured Epic and actionable Stories |
| Review | Quality | Getting a thorough, autonomous code review before merging |
| Analyze | Quality | Deep analysis of quality, security, architecture, and tech debt |
| PR | Workflow | Shipping code: commit → push → pull request → merge |
| Bisect | Workflow | Finding the exact commit that introduced a regression |
| Deep Search | Research | Understanding how the codebase works, finding implementations, tracing dependencies |
| Test Plan | Quality | Generating structured manual test cases from recent code changes |
Choosing the right mode
You're building something new → Feature
Something broke and you don't know why → Bug
The task is complex and you need a plan first → Plan
You have an idea but no spec yet → Specforge
You want a second opinion on your code → Review
You need a full quality or security audit → Analyze
You're ready to commit and ship → PR
Something worked before and now it doesn't → Bisect
You're trying to understand code you didn't write → Deep Search
You need test cases before a release → Test Plan
Model selection
Every mode defaults to Auto — the system reads the task and selects the most appropriate model automatically.
You can override this and choose a specific model (Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus) before sending your first message. Once the conversation starts, the model is locked for that session.
Auto mode is the right choice most of the time. Manual model selection is useful when you have a specific performance or cost preference for a particular task.
