It asks AI agents to keep asking you for input, for every bit of detail.</p> <p>However, recently I have been so tired of using it. When I design, I have only a few rules: simple, less awkward, has taste, orthogonal, and little maintenance going forward.</p> <p>So instead of using grill-me, my current practice is to encode a few design principles in AGENTS.md and tell Claude &ldquo;Use your best judgement.&rdquo; It simply works.</p>
