To me this still feels like the wrong way to interact with a coding agent. Does this lead people to success? I've never seen it not go off the rails in some way unless you provide clear boundaries as to what the scope of the expected change is. It's gonna write code if you don't even want it to yet, it's gonna write the test first or the logic first, whichever you don't want it to do. It'll be much too verbose or much too hacky, etc.

I've had no issues with prompts like that. I use Cursor with their plan mode, so I get a nice markdown file to iterate on or edit myself before it actually does anything.
