That's exactly how I started using them as well. 1. Give it just enough context, the assumptions that hold and the goal. 2. Review answer and iterate on the initial prompt. It is also the economical way to use them. I've been burned one too many times by using agents (they just spin and spin, burn 30 dollars for one prompt and either mess the code base or converge on the previous code written ).I also feel the need to caution others that by letting the AI write lots of code in your project it makes it harder to advance it, evolve it and just move on with confidence (code you didn't think about and write it doesn't stick as well into your memory).

My experience as well. I fear admitting this for fear of being labled a luddite.
