I personally limit LLMs to single files only at the moment. Self-contained components.

Using LLMs in a larger scope can sometimes work, but it has the real risk of turning a project into a mess after which you will have to undo the work and lose a lot of time.

Also, using LLMs this way with less clear boundaries will make reading and maintaining the code more cumbersome.

I use this strategy, too. I liken it to limiting the blast radius. If the LLM truly fouls things up it’s easier to pick up the pieces if you keep the scope limited.
