Yeah, as someone who has been using Claude Code for about 4 months now, I’ve adopted a “be super specific by default”-workflow. It works very well.
I typically use zen-mcp-server’s planning mode to scope out these tasks, refine and iterate on a plan, clear context, and then trigger the implementation.
There’s no way I would have considered “implement fuzzy search” a small feature request. I’m also paranoid about introducing technical debt / crappy code, as in my experience is the #1 reason that LLMs typically work well for new projects but start to degrade after a while: there’s just a lot of spaghetti and debt built up over time.
