Claude Code gets 'grill-me' command to ensure user alignment before coding

A developer has created a new command, `/grill-me`, for Claude Code to improve agentic coding by ensuring alignment before implementation. This command prompts Claude to interview the user with specific questions and proposed answers, forcing explicit agreement on requirements before any code is generated. The goal is to catch costly misunderstandings early in the development process, preventing the agent from building the wrong thing and reducing rework. AI
