FWIW the process I have used for large tasks with LLM programming looks like:
1) Use Cursor. It behaves far less quirky than VS Code for programming in my experience.
2) Explain what I want in detai...
4) When it is confident, and you've reviewed the plans, and you're ready to go, ask it to implement each plan, one prompt per plan at a time, until it completes all the work.
There's more nuance I could get into, and some custom skill/rule files, but that's the general idea. Basically, I try to get the LLM to plan the work out thoroughly and in bite sized, deferred chunks before asking it to do the work. I haven't found the need to use expensive Anthropic models most of the time.
