With Claude code I live in plan mode, and ask it to hand me the implementation plan at the low level, with alternatives. It's rare for it to not give me good ones: Better than the junior dev. Then the plan it has is already limited enough that, along with its ability to maintain code style, I will see code very similar to what I would have done. There are a couple of things in the .md file to try to make it take a step or two like the ones I would on naming, shrinking the diff, and refactoring for deduplication. It's not going to go quite as fast as trusting it all to work at a large scale, but it sure looks like my code in the end.
