Take a step back and give it the essential functional requirements.

Or, consider what information is driving your extremely detailed instructions and give it the raw source if you can. Meeting transcripts, messy notes on some adhoc conversation, etc.

The more you try to micromanage it, the more impossible to work with it it is.

Of course not every situation calls for just giving it high level requirements. But not every situation calls for trying to define how everything is done yourself either.

Well, quite. Recently I gave it a database dump, and told it what the processed data looks like. Since the raw data was messy, there was a lot to explain.

It didn’t go well.
