Agree, also llms change the balance of plan vs do for me, sometimes it cheaper to do & review than up-front plan.

When you can see what goes wrong with the naive plan you then have all the specific context in front of you for making a better plan.

If something is wrong with the implementation then I can ask the agent to then make a plan which avoids the issues / smells I call out. This itself could probably be automated.

The main thing I feel I'm "missing" is, I think it would be helpful if there were easier ways to back up in the conversation such that the state of the working copy was restored also. Basically I want the agent's work to be directly integrated with git such that "turns" are commits and you can branch at any point.
