And that's why you ask for a high level plan for something like that before you let the agent write any code. Then you review the plan for flaws, revise it, and prompt the system to fill out more details for each step. Repeat as necessary. Yes it's slow, but it's the best way of using this "glorified autocomplete" to ease and speed up real work.

People that have never written their own code won't know what the flaws are.

Those people can ask Claude to review the flaws for them.

Then they won't know if it's accurate or missing something.
