SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables in-depth analysis and verification of plans, specifications, or designs by systematically questioning each aspect until every branch of the decision tree is resolved.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic Questioning: Engage users in detailed, branch-by-branch analysis.
  • Design Verification: Surface assumptions, gaps, and unforced choices in a design.
  • Use Case: When a user has a draft spec or design and wants to ensure it is robust, the 'grill-me' skill can help identify potential weaknesses or areas for improvement.

Quick Start

To initiate a 'grill-me' session on a design document, use the command 'grill-me initiate design document'.

FAQPage Schema
What is Socratic questioning for design verification?

Socratic questioning for design verification is a systematic review technique that interrogates a spec to uncover assumptions, gaps, and unforced choices. It ensures every branch of the decision tree is resolved to validate design robustness.

How do I stress-test a spec to find design gaps?

To stress-test a spec and find design gaps, conduct a branch-by-branch analysis using systematic questioning. This process surfaces hidden assumptions and unforced choices in your design document until all implications are resolved.

Can I use systematic review for project planning documents?

Yes, you can use systematic review for project planning documents. The Socratic interrogation method applies directly to planning phases to comprehensively verify design decisions and identify potential weaknesses or areas for improvement.

What is the best way to uncover assumptions in a technical design?

The best way to uncover assumptions in a technical design is through relentless Socratic questioning. By systematically challenging each aspect of the spec, you force a comprehensive understanding of design decisions and their downstream implications.

When should I use decision tree analysis for design review?

You should use decision tree analysis for design review when you have a draft spec and need to ensure it is robust. It systematically resolves every branch of the design to identify potential weaknesses before implementation.
