It can't account for things that only come up during implementation. But you can explore much more of the design space in planning to reduce the opportunities for Claude to wander down the wrong path during implementation

The plans usually end up very long and verbose, and in my most vibe-y test project I stopped even reading them myself and instead just ask questions interactively. e.g. "what are the remaining unanswered design decisions", "which part is jankiest". It does work quite well although I don't know how I feel about it.
P.S. to any anthropic staff: The "chat about this" option in Plan mode is useful but also annoying. When I select it I want to take the next turn of the conversation myself, I don't want it to waste time "thinking" just for it to verbosely ask me what I want to chat about.
