SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and unexplored branches that only surface during implementation. This Skill systematically interrogates every aspect of a plan until all decision points are resolved and both parties share a complete understanding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless Structured Interviewing: Walks down each branch of the design decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer alongside each question so the user can accept, reject, or refine it. - Codebase-Grounded Questions: Explores the codebase to answer questions itself when the answer exists in the code, rather than asking the user unnecessarily. - Use Case: Before implementing a new feature, ask to be grilled on your design document so gaps in error handling, data modeling, and edge cases are exposed before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design document, then answer each question one at a time until every decision branch is resolved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a design plan before implementation?

Ask to be grilled on your plan and the assistant will interview you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree. It provides a recommended answer for every question so you can quickly confirm or challenge each decision.

How does the grill-me interview process work?

The process asks questions one at a time rather than in a batch, exploring each branch of the design tree and resolving dependencies between decisions sequentially. It continues until every aspect of the plan reaches shared understanding.

Can the interview use my codebase to answer questions?

Yes, when a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the assistant investigates the code directly instead of asking you. This keeps the interview focused on decisions only you can make.

When should I use a design grilling session versus a code review?

Use a grilling session before writing code, when the plan or design still has open decisions and assumptions to resolve. Code review applies after implementation exists; grilling catches design flaws earlier when they are cheaper to fix.

What are the limitations of a question-based plan review?

The quality of the review depends on your answers and the scope of the plan you present. It cannot validate feasibility against external systems or constraints not visible in the conversation or codebase.
