Is it just me that I simply don't care ? I never one-shot these tasks, always provide a breakdown and always give the AI straightforward tasks that would take too much typing. The approach seems to work just fine regardless of the model. If it gets stuck, I usually take over and do the task myself. Also allows me to plan for throughput rather than latency - i.e. start 2-3 small tasks in parallel and do 1 complicated task or planning myself. It works whether I use codex or claude. I lean more towards codex since its cheaper. Even aider gets good results this way.

It's you. Where did you get "one-shot" from that report? One shot or detailed step-by step - claude has gone worse.
