SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often hide unexamined assumptions and unresolved dependencies between decisions. This Skill stress-tests your plan by interviewing you relentlessly, one question at a time, until every branch of the decision tree is resolved and both sides share a common understanding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Decision-Tree Walkthrough: Explores each branch of your design, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: For every question asked, the Skill provides its own recommended answer so you can react rather than start from scratch. - Codebase-Grounded Questions: When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it investigates the code directly instead of asking you. - Use Case: Before implementing a new architecture, ask to be grilled on the design so gaps in caching, error handling, and data modeling surface before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your current plan or design document until every open decision is resolved.

FAQPage Schema

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

Ask to be grilled on your 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 to find hidden assumptions in a software design?▼

Use a structured interrogation approach where each design decision is questioned individually with a recommended answer provided. Questions answerable from the codebase are resolved by exploring the code directly rather than asking you.

Does the grilling interview ask multiple questions at once?▼

No, questions are asked strictly one at a time. This keeps the conversation focused and ensures each decision is fully resolved before moving to the next branch of the design tree.

When should I not use a plan-grilling interview approach?▼

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no meaningful design decisions or when requirements are already fully specified and validated. The approach adds the most value for ambiguous, multi-decision plans before implementation begins.
