SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans, decisions, and ideas often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies. 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 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. - Fact vs. Decision Separation: Looks up verifiable facts from the environment (filesystem, tools) itself, while reserving actual decisions for you. - Use Case: Before committing to a new architecture or product launch, have the Skill grill you on every aspect—constraints, trade-offs, dependencies—until the plan is fully vetted. ## Quick Start Grill me about my plan to migrate our monolith application to microservices.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a plan or decision with AI?

Ask the AI to grill you about your plan. It will interview you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until a shared understanding is reached.

How does the grilling interview process work?

The Skill asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your answer before continuing. For each question it provides a recommended answer, and it does not act on anything until you confirm shared understanding.

Does the grilling skill answer factual questions itself?

Yes. If a fact can be found by exploring the environment, such as the filesystem or available tools, the Skill looks it up rather than asking you. Only actual decisions are put to you for an answer.

When should I use grilling instead of just asking for a plan review?

Use grilling when you want active interrogation rather than passive feedback. It forces you to resolve each decision and dependency explicitly, which suits high-stakes choices where hidden assumptions are risky.

What are the limitations of decision-tree interviewing?

The process depends on your honest, complete answers and can be time-consuming for large decision trees. It also stops short of acting on conclusions until you explicitly confirm shared understanding.
