Ask it to write out the approach in a series of extensive markdown files that you will use to guide the build-out. Tell it to use checklists. Once you're happy with the full proposal, use @file mentions to keep the files in context as you prompt it through the steps. Works wonders.

Will try this approach. Thanks Ramesh
