Seriously? Provide context with a prompt file, prepare a plan in plan mode, and then execute the plan? You get more detailed descriptions of this if you read the introductory how-to guides of tools such as Copilot.
Making the model write a research file, then the plan and iterate on it by editing the plan file, then adding the todo list, then doing the implementation, and doing all that in a single conversation (instead of clearing contexts).
There's nothing revolutionary, but yes, it's a workflow that's quite different from other posts I've seen, and especially from Boris' thread that was mentioned which is more like a collection of tips.

Having LLMs write their prompt files was something that became a thing the moment prompt files became a thing.

That's literally what planning mode is.
Do yourself a favor and read the announcement of support for planning mode in Visual Studio. Visual Studio code supported it months before.

I'm not saying they invented anything. I'm saying it's a different workflow than what what I've seen on HN.
I don't care about Visual Studio, I don't use it, but the page you've linked seems to describe yet another workflow (not very detailed).
