You're describing existing behavior of codex and claude at the moment, for what it's worth. They don't always catch every edge case (or even most) in depth or discuss things thoroughly, depending on the prompt, but if you say "ask questions and be sure to clarify any ambiguity or technical issues" they'll run right through many of the outstanding concerns.

And neither will really code to the "Spec". They will miss a few requirements even for a spec that is less long than your screen.

Codex seems to be more thorough for it, but needs a lot of baby sitting, Claude will be happy to tell you he is done while missing half of them but will implement through the stack.

Tests will be generally crap for both of them.

So while I am happy to have those, it doesn't replace development knowledge.

Claude will be happy to kill security features to make it works.
