SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents important knowledge, assumptions, decisions, and mental models from being lost in conversation or overlooked during planning by systematically drawing them out and saving them as durable notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless One-at-a-Time Interviewing: Asks focused questions sequentially and provides a recommended answer for quick confirmation or correction.
  • Branch and Dependency Exploration: Follows each decision path, resolves upstream questions first, and identifies unanswered items with clear ownership.
  • Durable Capture and Reconciliation: Checkpoints every answer to a markdown file, maintains a running summary, reconciles contradictions, and proposes indexing or graduating reusable insights.
  • Use Case: Use it during a client onboarding session or while evaluating a major decision to expose assumptions, risks, requirements, and context that would otherwise remain undocumented.

Quick Start

Ask the grill-me skill to interview you about a topic, plan, decision, process, or mental model until you have fully externalized your thinking.
