Don’t rely entirely on CC. Once a milestone has been reached, copy the full patch to clipboard and the technical spec covering this. Provide the original files, the patch and the spec to Gemini and say ~a colleague did the work and does it fulfill the aims to best practices and spec?

Pick among the best feedback to polish the work done by CC—-it will miss things that Gemini will catch.

Then do it again. Sometimes CC just won’t follow feedback well and you gotta make the changes yourself.

If you do this you’ll be more gradual but by nature of the pattern look at the changes more closely.

You’ll be able to realign CC with the spec afterward with a fresh context and the existing commits showing the way.

Fwiw, this kind of technique can be done entirely without CC and can lead to excellent results faster, as Gemini can look at the full picture all at once, vs having to force cc to consume vs hen and peck slices of files.
