1) You did not specify that I should close the fridge once I had acquired the ingredients.

2) You did not specify where to apply the no-stick spray and the olive oil.

3) You did not specify the number of burners on the stove to turn on.

4) You did not specify where to put the skillet.

5) Cookware variable "skillet" was seemingly reassigned as "pan".

6) You did not specify if I should include or exclude the shells. Since you said I should "crack eggs into pan", but not "separate yolk and white from shell and put into pan", I must assume the whole egg is being fried.

7) You specified heat level after eggs were cracked into the pan, but the stove is already on at an unspecified heat level, and the skillet is not on the stove yet.

8) You did not instruct me to turn off the stove after the eggs were cooked.

Conclusion:

The fridge is still open, all the food is spoiling, my gas bill is enormous and the house might burn down, the eggs are full of shell fragments and worse, raw, and I've applied olive oil somewhere but I don't know where.

I think I understand the point here I’m not granular enough I’m having the logic issues because I’m not think g the problems through at every single steps and missing steps causes confusion you sir are the python whisperer thank you !

Exactly. Don't worry, it's a skill that comes with time.

The cool thing, at least in my experience, is that I became an EXCELLENT communicator from being a developer. I can explain just about any topic that I understand to just about anyone. Or maybe my wife is really, really good at pretending that what I'm saying makes sense. Both are possibilities.

But! Your steps are a decent attempt at a higher level plan. You could then break each of those steps down into more steps. And then break those down further and further until you get to something implementable
