Sadly this just doesn't pan out in larger more complex projects. It will write an implementation plan, not follow it, then lie and say it did.

What tool and/or model are you calling "it"?

I'm using Claude Code on a large legacy monstrosity, and don't have this problem. There are problems and my flow automatically has it reviewing its own work in phased implementations, but even in the worst situations it's easy to get back on track.
