Agreed, I always give my one pager product briefs to AI to break down into phases and tasks, and then progress trackers. I explicitly prompt for verbose phases, tasks and test plans.

Yesterday without much promoting Claude 4.1 gave me 10 phases, each with 5-12 tasks that could genuinely be used to kanban out a product step by step.

Claude 3.7 sonnet was effectively the same with fewer granular suggestions for programming strategies.

Gemini 2.5 gave me a one pager back with some trivial bullet points in 3 phases, no tasks at all.

o3 did the same as as Gemini, just less coherent.

Claude just has whatever the thing is for now



How are you having claude track these phases/tasks? Eg are you having it write to a TASKS.md and update it after each phase?


Just say begin task 1, 2 etc scroll back and see the task. Or copy paste into notes and do them sequenced


If you have any examples of these one pagers I’d love to see them!


Gemini Pro or Flash?
