I have taken to appending "DO NOT START WRITING CODE." to almost every prompt.. I try to get it to analyze and ask questions and summarize what its going to do first, and even then it will sometimes ignore that and jump into writing (the wrong) code. A big part of the wrangling seems to be getting it to analyze or reason before charging down a wrong path.

If you use Claude Code you can go into plan mode, where it doesn't write code, you can back and forth.
