A user on Reddit is exploring a potential solution to a common problem with AI coding tools like Cursor: the tendency for loosely scoped instructions to result in excessive, unintended code modifications. They are developing a small CLI tool that would act as a pre-processing layer, structuring vague task descriptions into a more detailed brief before handing them off to an AI agent.
