SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans, decisions, and ideas often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface after execution begins. This Skill stress-tests your thinking through relentless one-at-a-time questioning until 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, and provides a recommended answer 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 starting a major refactor, invoke the grilling skill to have every architectural assumption, dependency, and trade-off challenged until your plan is fully validated. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill you about your migration plan and answer each question until you confirm a shared understanding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I stress-test a plan before implementing it?▼

Invoke the grilling skill and present your plan, decision, or idea. The agent interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and offering recommended answers until you confirm a shared understanding.

What is the grilling skill used for?▼

The grilling skill challenges your thinking about a plan, decision, or idea through relentless sequential questioning. It resolves dependencies between decisions one by one and does not act until you confirm alignment.

Does the grilling skill answer its own questions?▼

It looks up verifiable facts itself by exploring the environment such as the filesystem and available tools. However, all actual decisions are put to you, and it waits for your answer before continuing.

When should I not use one-question-at-a-time interviewing?▼

Avoid it for trivial decisions with no branching dependencies or when you need rapid bulk feedback. The sequential format is designed for complex plans where unresolved assumptions carry real execution risk.
