SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans, decisions, and ideas often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface after costly mistakes. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by interviewing you relentlessly, one question at a time, until every branch of the decision tree is resolved and a shared understanding is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Interrogation: Asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your answer before continuing, avoiding overwhelming multi-question dumps. - Decision Tree Traversal: Walks down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one, with a recommended answer provided for each question. - Fact vs. Decision Separation: Looks up verifiable facts from the environment (filesystem, tools) itself, while reserving all actual decisions for you. - Use Case: Before writing a technical specification, invoke this Skill to grill yourself on architecture choices, scope boundaries, and edge cases so the spec is built on confirmed decisions rather than assumptions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill you about your plan or idea, for example by saying "grill me about my plan to migrate the database to PostgreSQL".

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a plan or idea with an AI agent?

Invoke the grilling skill by asking the agent to grill you about your plan. It interviews you one question at a time, walks each branch of the decision tree, and provides a recommended answer for every question until shared understanding is reached.

How does the grilling skill ask questions?

It asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your feedback before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is explicitly avoided because it is bewildering, and each question comes with the agent's recommended answer.

Does the grilling skill make decisions for me?

No. The skill looks up verifiable facts itself by exploring the environment such as the filesystem and available tools, but all decisions remain yours. It puts each decision to you and waits for your answer before proceeding.

When does the grilling skill start acting on the plan?

It does not act until you explicitly confirm that a shared understanding has been reached. The entire interview phase is dedicated to resolving dependencies between decisions one by one before any execution begins.

When should I use grilling instead of writing a spec directly?

Use grilling when your idea still contains unresolved assumptions or branching decisions. It is designed as a pre-specification step that surfaces hidden dependencies, so the subsequent spec is grounded in confirmed decisions rather than guesses.
