help Plandex FAQ

Is Plandex actually an Excel extension?

No. Plandex is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent for complex software tasks, not a spreadsheet add-in for Microsoft Excel. [Plandex official site](https://plandex.ai/)

Which platform does Plandex run on?

Plandex runs from a terminal, and its documentation says Windows users should use it through WSL rather than ordinary Command Prompt or PowerShell. The installation model is therefore closer to a developer CLI than an Excel plug-in. [Plandex installation guide](https://docs.plandex.ai/install/)

How does Plandex approach large coding tasks?

Plandex can load project files and organize work into a plan before implementation. Its documented model roles include a planner for planning and a coder for carrying out individual steps.

What commands identify the Plandex command-line tool?

The documented command is `plandex`, with `pdx` available as an alias. Users can start the tool in a project directory and choose modes such as chat or tell mode.
