SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and unexamined branches that only surface during implementation. This Skill stress-tests a plan before building by relentlessly interviewing the user about every decision. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Interrogation: Asks one question at a time, waiting for feedback before continuing, so the user is never overwhelmed. - Decision Ownership: Looks up facts directly from the codebase instead of asking, while reserving all design decisions for the user. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer with each question to accelerate convergence. - Use Case: Before implementing a new feature or architecture, invoke the grill workflow to walk down each branch of the design tree, resolve dependencies between decisions one by one, and only proceed once shared understanding is confirmed. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you about your implementation plan for the new feature before writing any code.

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

Invoke the grill workflow and the assistant will interview you about every aspect of the plan, one question at a time. It walks each branch of the design tree and resolves dependencies between decisions until you confirm shared understanding.

How to validate a design decision with an AI assistant?▼

Have the assistant grill you on the design: it asks targeted questions sequentially and provides a recommended answer for each. You keep ownership of every decision while the assistant looks up verifiable facts from the codebase itself.

Does the grilling process ask multiple questions at once?▼

No, questions are asked strictly one at a time, and the assistant waits for your feedback before continuing. This avoids the confusion of batched questions and keeps each decision focused.

When does the assistant start implementing the plan?▼

Implementation only begins after you explicitly confirm that shared understanding has been reached. Until that confirmation, the assistant continues interviewing and will not enact any part of the plan.

When should I not use a plan-grilling workflow?▼

Skip it for trivial, well-understood changes where interrogation adds no value, or when you need immediate execution rather than deliberation. It is designed for plans with meaningful design decisions and unresolved dependencies.
