What it does

grill-me interviews you relentlessly about a plan or design until the decision tree is resolved.

It asks one question at a time. For each question, it provides a recommended answer, then waits for feedback before continuing.

If the answer can be found by exploring the codebase, the agent should inspect the code instead of asking you to explain what already exists.

When to use

  • Working on a feature.
  • Predominantly used before architecting and coding, but I imagine it could be useful for design and product thinking too

The skill

description: Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
