SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and untested decisions that only surface during implementation. This Skill systematically interrogates every branch of a plan's decision tree so gaps and contradictions are exposed before work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless one-at-a-time questioning: Walks through each aspect of a plan sequentially, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended answers: Provides a suggested answer with every question so the user can accept, reject, or refine it quickly. - Codebase grounding: Explores the codebase directly when a question can be answered by inspecting existing code instead of asking the user. - Use Case: Before starting a large refactor, ask to be grilled on the migration plan so every architectural decision, edge case, and dependency is explicitly resolved. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design document until every decision is resolved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a plan before implementing it?

Ask to be grilled on the plan. The Skill interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until a shared understanding is reached.

How does the grill-me skill review a design?

It asks questions sequentially rather than all at once, and provides a recommended answer for each question. When a question can be answered from the codebase, it explores the code instead of asking you.

Can the questioning use my existing codebase for answers?

Yes. If a question about the plan can be resolved by inspecting the codebase, the Skill explores the code directly instead of asking the user, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth.

When should I not use an interview-style plan review?

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no meaningful design decisions, or when you need immediate code output. The process is deliberately thorough and resolves decisions one by one, which takes time.

Does the skill give answers or only ask questions?

It does both. Every question comes with a recommended answer, so you can quickly confirm sensible defaults and focus discussion only on decisions you disagree with.
