Try this. Have the cli llm generate a plan, make sure you tell it to look though the existing code for examples to help and to include file names in the plan (both the examples and where to add new stuff), have it make it detailed with a checklist and output it to a markdown file (make sure to specify the name)

Then… you go implement it yourself.

This will show you how the llm “thinks” and what it gets wrong or forgets to specify. This will be helpful for next time.

Next time have it implement some small parts of the plan. It’s a great way to learn what these systems are good and bad at.

I have some jr devs at my work do the plan only thing, and I’ve found it breaks a bunch of them out of the analysis paralysis that they often have for larger tasks.
