I tend to provide detailed PRDs, because even if the first couple of iterations of the coding agent are not perfect, it tends to be easier to get there (as opposed to having a vague prompt and move on from there).
What I do sometimes is an experimental run - especially when I am stuck. I express my high-level vision, and just have the LLM code it to see what happens. I do not do it often, but it has sometimes helped me get out of being mentally stuck with some part of the application.
Funnily, I am facing this problem right now, and your post might just have reminded me, that sometimes a quick experiment can be better than 2 days of overthinking about the problem...
