SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you eliminate ambiguity in a plan or design by forcing clear, branch-by-branch alignment until you and the user share the same understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless interview-driven design alignment: Asks one question at a time to resolve dependencies between decisions.
  • Decision-tree coverage: Walks through each branch of the design tree to surface tradeoffs and open questions.
  • Codebase-aware answers: If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it does so to ground recommendations.

Quick Start

Use the grill-me skill to interview yourself about a plan or design until every decision and dependency is resolved and you have one recommended answer for each question.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify ambiguous requirements for a design review?

To clarify ambiguous requirements for a design review, use a structured interview process that asks one question at a time to resolve dependencies. This branch-by-branch approach surfaces tradeoffs and eliminates plan ambiguity to reach shared stakeholder alignment.

What is the best way to map dependencies across a decision tree?

The best way to map dependencies across a decision tree is through relentless interview-driven alignment. By asking one question at a time and resolving each branch sequentially, you can surface open questions and clearly define tradeoffs within your design.

Can codebase analysis help answer design review questions?

Yes, codebase analysis can help answer design review questions by exploring the codebase to ground recommendations. When a question can be answered by examining existing code, the system explores it directly to produce a recommended answer.

How do I achieve stakeholder alignment on an unclear plan?

You can achieve stakeholder alignment on an unclear plan by guiding a structured, question-by-question interview. This forces branch-by-branch resolution of decisions and dependencies until all parties share the exact same understanding of the design.

Does interview-driven design alignment work for complex decision trees?

Yes, interview-driven design alignment works for complex decision trees by walking through each branch to resolve dependencies sequentially. It handles complex tradeoffs by limiting the interview to one question at a time until every open dependency is resolved.

When should I avoid using a question-by-question interview for requirement clarification?

You should avoid using a question-by-question interview for requirement clarification if your plan or design already has zero ambiguity. This structured branch-by-branch alignment process is specifically built to stress-test and resolve unclear dependencies rather than validate finalized designs.
