Yeah that's what I had in mind from the very beginning.

In fact I built a tool [1] that applies this principle for semi automated coding. It uses LLMs for generating code, but leave the context selection and code editing for human to complete.

I find this a sweet spot between productivity and quality of output.

I like how you put the context and prompts into the foreground. In so many tools, it’s invisible. We all know that context and prompts are there - the operation of LLMs is well known. Yet tools try and hide this and pretend that they are magic, instead of exposing control points and handles for the developer to use.
