SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and decisions often contain hidden assumptions and unexplored branches that only surface after execution begins. This Skill interviews you relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea, mapping it as a design tree so every dependent decision is examined before you act. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Tree Mapping: Models your plan as a tree where every decision branches into the decisions that depend on it. - Frontier-Based Rounds: Asks only the questions whose prerequisites are settled, numbering each one and providing a recommended answer so you can respond quickly. - Autonomous Fact-Finding: Dispatches sub-agents to look up facts from the environment instead of asking you for anything it could find itself. - Use Case: Before committing to a system architecture, have the Skill grill you on scaling, data model, deployment, and failure handling until no assumption is left silently made. ## Quick Start Grill me on my plan to migrate our monolith to microservices.

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

Ask the Skill to grill you on your plan. It maps your decisions as a tree and interviews you in rounds, asking every question whose prerequisites are settled until no assumption remains unexamined.

How does the grilling question rounds format work?

Each round presents numbered questions with a title, detailed body, and a recommended answer marked with an arrow. You answer the round, settled decisions unlock dependent questions, and the next round begins.

Can the Skill look up facts instead of asking me?

Yes. When a question needs a fact from the filesystem or tools, it dispatches a sub-agent to find it rather than asking you. Only questions downstream of that lookup wait for the result.

When does a grilling session end?

The session ends when the frontier is empty, meaning every branch of the design tree has been visited and nothing is silently assumed. The Skill waits for your confirmation of shared understanding before acting.

When should I not use a grilling-style interview?

Avoid it for trivial or fully specified tasks where requirements are already documented and unambiguous. The multi-round interview adds overhead that only pays off when decisions have unresolved dependencies.
