SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and unexplored branches that only surface during implementation. This Skill systematically interrogates every aspect of a plan through relentless one-at-a-time questioning until a shared, validated understanding is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Decision-Tree Walkthrough: Walks down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer with each question so the user can accept, reject, or refine it. - Codebase-Grounded Inquiry: Explores the codebase directly to answer questions that can be resolved from existing code instead of asking the user. - Use Case: Before implementing a new microservice architecture, ask to be grilled on the design so every dependency, failure mode, and trade-off is explicitly decided before writing code. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design document until every decision branch is resolved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a design plan with an AI assistant?▼

Ask the assistant to grill you on the plan. It will interview you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until a shared understanding is reached.

What is the grill-me skill used for?▼

The grill-me skill stress-tests plans and designs by relentlessly interviewing the user about every aspect of the proposal. It resolves each branch of the decision tree one question at a time and provides a recommended answer for each question.

Does the questioning use my existing codebase?▼

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the skill investigates the code directly instead of asking the user, keeping the interview focused on genuinely undecided design points.

How many questions are asked at once during the interview?▼

Questions are asked strictly one at a time. Each question comes with a recommended answer, and the interview proceeds branch by branch until all decision dependencies are resolved.

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

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no branching decisions or when requirements are already fully specified and validated. The interview adds value only when a plan contains unresolved assumptions or interdependent design choices.
