My workflow is to have spec files (markdown) for any changes I’m making, and then use those to keep Claude on track/pull out of the trees.
Not super necessary for small changes, but basically a must have for any larger refactors or feature additions.
I usually use o3 for generating the specs; also helpful for avoiding context pollution with just Claude Code.

I do similar and find that this is the best compromise that I have tried. But I still find myself nodding along with OP. I am more and more finding that this is not actually faster, even though it certainly seems so.
