SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, vague requirements, and unexamined risks that only surface during implementation. This Skill subjects your plan or design to a relentless interview, exposing weak points before you commit to building. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless Questioning: Challenges your plan or design with probing questions to uncover gaps, contradictions, and untested assumptions. - Plan and Design Refinement: Helps you iterate on specifications, architecture proposals, or product ideas by stress-testing them through dialogue. - Use Case: Before starting a new feature, paste your design doc and let the interview reveal missing edge cases, unclear ownership, or unvalidated technical choices. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your current plan or design document so its weaknesses are exposed through pointed questions.

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

Present your plan or design and request a grilling session. The interview format asks pointed questions that expose hidden assumptions, vague requirements, and unexamined risks before you commit resources to building.

What is a design review interview technique?

It is a conversational method where an interviewer relentlessly questions your design decisions to reveal weaknesses. This Skill applies that technique to plans and designs, forcing you to justify or revise each choice.

Can I use this for product specs and architecture documents?

Yes, the interview approach works for any plan or design artifact, including product specifications, technical architecture proposals, and project plans. You provide the material and respond to the challenging questions.

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

Avoid it when you need concrete deliverables like code, documents, or data analysis rather than dialogue. The interview sharpens thinking but does not produce artifacts, so pair it with implementation tools afterward.
