SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans, decisions, and ideas often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface after costly execution. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by relentlessly interviewing you about every aspect of a plan before any action is taken. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Interrogation: Asks one question at a time, walking down each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer with each question, so you can accept, reject, or refine rather than starting from a blank page. - Fact vs. Decision Separation: Looks up verifiable facts from the environment (filesystem, tools) instead of asking you, while reserving all decisions for your explicit confirmation. - Use Case: Before kicking off a new feature or product idea, invoke this Skill to be grilled on scope, constraints, and trade-offs, ending with a written Discovery.md capturing answers, assumptions, and open questions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill you about your plan or idea and answer each question one at a time until you confirm a shared understanding has been reached.

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

Invoke the grilling skill and the agent interviews you about every aspect of your plan, one question at a time, with a recommended answer for each. It walks the decision tree branch by branch and does not act until you confirm shared understanding.

How does the grilling skill ask questions?

It asks exactly one question per turn and waits for your answer before continuing, since batching questions is bewildering. Each question may include 2-4 concrete options with the recommended option first.

When should I use grilling before starting a project?

Use it before any non-trivial kickoff, feature addition, improvement, or redesign where assumptions could derail execution. It is designed for the discovery phase, resolving decision dependencies before research or building begins.

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 agent looks it up rather than asking you. Only genuine decisions are put to you for an answer.

What output does a grilling session produce?

A completed session ends by writing or updating a Discovery.md file containing answers, assumptions, what the answers change about the plan, and open questions. Handoffs are artifacts, not conversation.
