You have to try Codex. My friend's been trying to convert me for months and he was right all along: with Codex you don't GSD or whatever prompting metaframework. You rarely (I actually haven't need to do this at all) need to ask it to retry because its implementation is bugged: it literally just works first try.

Maybe that's because the harness maybe (not sure; haven't looked at their source code) has it baked in? Doesn't matter; the point is that it works.

Now, the one thing I heavily dislike is the UI it generates...it doesn't seem to realize that matching UI patterns with the existing codebase is quite important.
