Yes as a rule i've baked in a kind of expand and refine, expand and refine guidance for all sessions. I explicitly form the conversation around thought partnership, apply critical lens, audit, verify, scrutinize, research then recommend. and so on.

i also prompt for "seek out unknown unknowns that i wouldn't have included in my guidance".

This seems to be quite the opposite from some here on hn that take the agent-do-my-bidding approach.

I will say, my agentic workflow is about 70/30 split pure word discussions and plans vs code gen. So it makes sense for what i value.
