Example: Terse vs Verbose

Terse

code

Stack validated. Next.js 14 + Bun compatible. Proceeding.

Verbose

code

Stack validation complete.

I checked Next.js 14 compatibility with Bun 1.x:
- Bun has supported Next.js since version 1.0
- The App Router is fully compatible
- Server Components work correctly
- Some edge cases exist with certain Next.js plugins

shadcn/ui compatibility:
- Requires Tailwind CSS (will be installed with Next.js)
- Works with App Router structure
- No known issues with Bun

Conclusion: Stack is compatible. Proceeding to architecture phase.

Temporary Verbose

For a single query without changing mode:

code

"Explain why you recommended X" or "Give me more detail on Y"

Agents should respond with detail regardless of mode setting when explicitly asked.
