Agents are eager. If you ask for a site, you get a site, including the five decisions you would have changed. Split the work:
- Plan. "Do not write code. List the pages, the sections on each, the content you need from me, and the risks."
- Approve or edit the plan in your own words. This is where taste enters.
- Build one slice (the home hero), review it, then continue.
Keep the plan in the repo (docs/plans/). It becomes the memory the agent re-reads when the conversation gets long.
Prompt · Plan-first
Read AGENTS.md and the files in /docs first. Then write a plan for [feature] in docs/plans/[date]-[name].md covering: goal, pages and sections, components to reuse, content needed from me, and what could go wrong. Do not change any code. Stop when the plan is written and wait for my review.
