Agent Mode

An interaction mode in AI code assistants where the assistant autonomously decomposes a high-level request into subtasks, iteratively plans, executes, and observes — typically editing multiple files, running terminal commands, and self-correcting until goals are met. Agent mode is central to 'vibe coding' workflows but introduces accessibility challenges for screen reader users: multi-view focus management, unstructured result output, and ambiguous status notifications can all undermine situational awareness and user control.
