Most harnesses provide this as a "plan" vs. "act" mode now. You first "chat" in plan mode (no access to tools, no instructions to write any code basically), you then can optionally write those plans in a memorybank / plan.md, and then say "now go implement it", and it moves to the "act" mode where it goes through and does it, updating progress in plan.md as it goes.
I've found it very useful to have items like requirements.md, plans.md, or todo.md, in my LLM focused projects. I'll use AI to help take the ideas I have at that stage and refine them into something more appropriate for ingestion into the next stage. So, when I want it to come up with the plans, it is going to base is mostly on requirements.md, and then I'll have it act on the plans step by step after that.
the thing is, it's not working as the default mode, which is not ideal imho
