That's interesting and actually the opposite of mine. I wonder if it's stack or methodology dependant? For reference I'm usually using cursor and opus4.6 and for a bigger piece of work:

- Start in ask mode - "I'm planning on doing X to achieve Y; are there any alternative approaches? What problems might I run into?"

- Chat for a bit and get the high level approach, switch to plan mode and ask for a nicely formatted plan

- What's kicked out is already in the rough shape of the discussion so far, so it's a case of following a nicely formatted doc through and highlighting sections of text and asking for clarification or changes

- Hitting "build" and then reviewing what's been done

For a new service I might spend an hour in ask/plan mode - but then it gets 95% of the build itself right first time.

Do you do the same with different results, or is there a different stack/methodology you go through?
