Helped: Writing clear actionable specs in planning mode before implementation.
Got in the way: Agent fails to autonomously start next tasks or handle dependencies.

If I can get a clear understanding of what I want to build, communicate that to Claude Code in planning mode with the goal to write an actionable spec (not code, plan to write the spec) then I tend to get very good results once the agent goes to implement. But this strategy, while effective, puts a big load on me to write the specs. …
