SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface during implementation. This Skill pressure-tests a plan by asking focused questions one at a time until every branch of the decision tree is resolved. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless Interviewing: Walks through each aspect of a plan or design, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer for each question so the user can accept, reject, or refine it. - Codebase-Aware Questions: Explores the codebase directly when a question can be answered from project files instead of asking the user. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, ask the agent to grill you on your migration plan so edge cases, sequencing issues, and design trade-offs are settled before writing code. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill you on your plan or design document and answer each question as it comes.

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

Invoke the grill-me skill and present your plan or design. The agent asks one question at a time, offers a recommended answer for each, and continues until every branch of the decision tree is resolved.

What is the grill-me skill used for?▼

It is used to pressure-test plans and designs through relentless sequential questioning. It helps surface hidden assumptions and resolve dependencies between decisions before implementation begins.

Can the agent answer design questions from my codebase?▼

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the skill inspects the project files directly instead of asking the user, keeping the interview grounded in the actual code.

Does the interview happen all at once or step by step?▼

Step by step. The skill asks questions one at a time and waits for your feedback on each before continuing, so you stay in control of every decision.

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

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no meaningful design trade-offs, since the sequential questioning adds overhead. It is best suited to plans with multiple interdependent decisions worth validating.
