This can be done while staying in agent mode. I never used edit mode and only use ask mode when my question has nothing to do with the project I have open. Any other time, I tell it to either make no changes at all as I'm only asking a question to research something, or to limit changes to a much smaller scope and style. It doesn't work perfectly, but it works well enough that it is worth the tradeoff given the extra capabilities agent mode seems to provide (this likely depends upon the specific AI/LLM system you are using, so given another tool I might not arrive at the same conclusion).
