Solving Unsteerable AI Coding: Separating Planning and Implementation Models
intellectronica · x · 2026-08-05
In response to developer complaints about Claude Opus/Sol being "smart but unsteerable" in monorepos, intellectlectronica shares a practical AI coding workflow:
- Interactive Planning: Use the Sol model for interactive code planning.
- Serialization & Implementation: Serialize the plan into a doc and switch to the Luna Max model for implementation.
- Benefits: This separation saves money and stress, ensuring the implementation model strictly follows instructions without getting adventurous. The tradeoff is a slower pace due to the need for a high reasoning budget.
