I think it depends on what models you are using and what you're asking them to do, and whether that's actually inside their technical abilities. There are not always good manuals for this.
My last experience: I asked claude to code-read for me, and it dug out some really obscure bugs in old Siemens Structured Text source code .
A friend's last experience: they had an agent write an entire Christmas-themed adventure game from scratch (that ran perfectly).
