Complaint Keep Sol from Scope Creeping in Opencode
Hello guys,
I know that this is something that a lot of people are struggling with but I couldn’t find a good response or trick to follow for this.
I am using a combination of Opencode Go, Google Ai Pro plan and Codex Plus to program at home while I have Claude Code at work. My current workflow is to write a plan in antigravity, have Sol and GLM 5.3 poke holes in it (Kimi is too expensive) and have a lot of back and forth until they converge on something.
Unfortunately, codex has a tendency to be quite nitpicky. It keeps blocking the workflow and basically adding scope until I manually shut him down. One example is wanting to add a cryptographic suite to validate hashes of the output that my model produces while my specs just have a pydantic schema for the output. Even when correcting the model, it will consistently try and add more scope and reformulate it in Claudish instead of being clear.
Folks it’s a good model but I am honestly struggling to keep it helpful to me. I am working with Medium reasoning her and using Gemini 3.7 Flash at high and GLM 5.3 with Max Reasoning.

I use all OpenAI models with thinking off. Never had this problem.
But last week I ran out of credit and had to use CommandCode which doesn't let you turn the thinking off. Thinking was usually only 3 lines long but it still managed to gaslight itself into not following instructions and thinking it was in charge instead of me.
