SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and decisions often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface after implementation begins. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by relentlessly interviewing you about every aspect of a plan, decision, or idea until a shared understanding is reached. ## 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 react to a concrete proposal rather than starting from scratch. - Environment-Aware Fact-Finding: Looks up verifiable facts from the filesystem and tools instead of asking you, reserving questions for genuine decisions. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, invoke the grilling to have every architectural choice, edge case, and dependency challenged and confirmed before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you about your plan for an upcoming project or decision.

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

Invoke the grilling skill and present your plan, decision, or idea. The assistant interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies until both sides confirm a shared understanding.

What trigger phrases activate the grilling skill?

Any phrase containing 'grill' activates it, such as asking to be grilled about a plan or decision. It also applies whenever you explicitly want your thinking stress-tested before committing to an approach.

Does the grilling skill ask multiple questions at once?

No, it asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your feedback before continuing. Each question comes with a recommended answer so you can react to a concrete proposal rather than an open-ended prompt.

Can the grilling skill look up facts instead of asking me?

Yes, it explores the environment such as the filesystem and available tools to resolve factual questions on its own. Only genuine decisions are put to you, and it waits for your answer on each one.

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 read-only with respect to execution, so nothing changes until you give confirmation.
