+- **Multi-Agent Planning**: `PraisonAIAgents(planning=True)` - orchestrated
+- **Planning Tools**: Research with tools before creating plans
+- **Reasoning Mode**: Chain-of-thought planning with tool use
 - **Todo Lists**: Auto-generated from plans with progress tracking
 - **Read-Only Mode**: `plan_mode=True` restricts agents to safe tools
