I'm positively surprised such a little guidance makes such a difference.
is it also useful with the smaller (and cheaper) cloud models?

Yes. I run local models, Qwen3.6-27B and IMHO the massive level up was the agents and skills files that I've worked on.
Basically I run a flow
Brainstorming > Create Spec > Review Spec* > Create Plans > Review Plan* > Execute Plan (in subagents) > Review Against Plan > Code Review* > Open PR > Finish Plan (marks plan files done)
* Each review step marked with an asterisk uses a paid larger LLM, right now Deepseek V4 Pro. Having it do this catches a lot of small things, and now I'm effectively one shotting any task I give it.
And it's not costing me much at all, just those three reviews. I could use a free model like Gemini but I'm happy with what I've got.
Right on target
