SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you pressure-test a plan or design before you commit to it, so weak assumptions, missing decisions, and hidden dependencies surface early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless Interviewing: Asks structured follow-up questions that walk through each branch of the decision tree.
  • Recommended Answers: Provides a suggested answer for every question so you can move faster with informed defaults.
  • Codebase-Aware Exploration: Checks the repository when a decision can be answered from existing context instead of guessing.
  • Use Case: Use it to challenge a technical design, validate a product plan, or uncover gaps in an implementation approach before work begins.

Quick Start

Use the grill-me skill to interrogate my plan step by step and recommend answers for each decision branch.

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

Stress-testing a technical design requires structured follow-up questions that walk through each decision branch to surface weak assumptions and hidden dependencies early. The interview continues until shared understanding is reached and every decision branch is resolved.

What is the best way to validate architecture choices against an existing codebase?

Validating architecture choices against an existing codebase involves exploring the repository to answer specific design questions from existing context rather than guessing. This ensures architecture decisions align with current codebase constraints.

Can I get recommended answers when interrogating a product plan decision tree?

Interrogating a product plan decision tree can provide a suggested answer for every follow-up question, enabling you to move faster with informed defaults while still resolving every branching decision.

How does a design review interview uncover missing dependencies in a plan?

A design review interview uncovers missing dependencies by applying relentless questioning to each branch of the decision tree, forcing hidden assumptions and unresolved choices to surface before implementation begins.

When do I need to pressure-test a plan using a decision tree approach?

You need to pressure-test a plan using a decision tree approach when committing to a technical design, validating a product plan, or uncovering gaps in an implementation approach before any development work begins.

Does this approach work for product plans or only technical architecture designs?

This approach works for both product plans and technical architecture designs, applying structured interviewing to challenge any plan, validate decisions, and uncover gaps before implementation starts.
