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 until a shared, validated understanding is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless Interviewing: Asks one focused question at a time, walking down each branch of the decision tree until every dependency is resolved. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer alongside each question so the user can accept, reject, or refine it. - Codebase-Grounded Questions: Explores the codebase to answer questions itself when the answer exists in the code, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth. - Use Case: Before implementing a new feature, ask to be grilled on your design doc so edge cases, trade-offs, and dependencies are settled before writing code. ## Quick Start Attach your plan or design document and say: grill me on this plan until we reach a shared understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions about grill-me

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Present your plan and ask to be grilled on it. The Skill interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and offering a recommended answer for every question until all dependencies are resolved.

How to validate architecture decisions before implementation?▼

Use a structured interview approach where each design decision is questioned individually with recommended answers provided. Questions answerable from the codebase are resolved by exploring the code directly rather than asking you.

Does the grill-me skill ask multiple questions at once?▼

No, it asks questions strictly one at a time. This keeps the conversation focused and ensures each decision and its dependencies are fully resolved before moving to the next branch.

Can the skill answer design questions from my codebase?▼

Yes. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the Skill investigates the code itself instead of asking you, reducing unnecessary questions and grounding decisions in the actual implementation.

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

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no branching decisions or when you need immediate code output rather than discussion. It is designed for plans with unresolved trade-offs, dependencies, or ambiguous requirements.
