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 stress-tests a plan by relentlessly interviewing the user about every aspect of it, resolving each branch of the decision tree one question at a time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Interrogation: Walks down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one rather than asking scattered questions. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer for each question, so the user can accept, reject, or refine instead of starting from a blank page. - Codebase-Grounded Questions: Answers questions by exploring the codebase directly when the answer exists in the code, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth. - Use Case: Before implementing a new feature, ask to be grilled on your design doc. The Skill probes edge cases, dependency ordering, and unstated assumptions until both sides share a complete understanding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your implementation plan for the feature you are about to build.

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

Invoke the grill-me skill with your plan or design. It interviews you question by question, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until both sides reach shared understanding.

What does the grill-me skill do?

The grill-me skill relentlessly interviews you about every aspect of a plan or design. For each question it provides a recommended answer, and it explores the codebase directly when a question can be answered from the code.

Does the questioning use information from my codebase?

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the skill investigates the code itself instead of asking you, keeping the interview focused on decisions only you can make.

When should I not use a plan-interrogation approach?

Avoid it for trivial or well-understood tasks where the design space is already settled, since the exhaustive questioning adds overhead. It is most valuable for ambiguous, multi-decision plans with unresolved dependencies.
