I stopped using /grill-me for coding. Here's what I use instead:

  • Introduces /grill-with-docs, the evolution of /grill-me: adds domain-driven design concepts (ubiquitous language) to conversational AI interviewing, so Claude develops shared vocabulary with the developer before writing code.
  • Core problem with /grill-me: it interviews you generically, without domain context. /grill-with-docs runs a /ubiquitous-language step first to establish shared project vocabulary, then grills with that context in mind.
  • Introduces Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) as a natural byproduct: the grilling process surfaces and documents architectural decisions that would otherwise stay implicit.
  • Practical takeaway: run /grill-with-docs before coding any new project or feature area to align Claude on your domain model — reduces AI drift and produces shareable architecture documentation as a side effect.
