SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and design decisions often contain hidden assumptions, weak spots, and unexamined trade-offs that only surface after implementation begins. This Skill subjects your idea to a rigorous, adversarial interview so flaws are exposed before you commit to them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adversarial Questioning: Launches a grilling session that challenges the plan, decision, or idea you present with relentless follow-up questions. - Assumption Surfacing: Forces implicit assumptions, edge cases, and unstated constraints into the open through structured interrogation. - Use Case: Before writing an RFC for a new caching layer, run a grilling session on your design doc to uncover failure modes, scaling concerns, and unanswered questions your reviewers would raise. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on the plan or design you are currently working on.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a design doc before implementation?▼

Present your design doc or plan and start a grilling session. The skill interviews you with relentless follow-up questions that expose weak assumptions, missing edge cases, and unexamined trade-offs before you commit to implementation.

What is a grilling session for plans and decisions?▼

A grilling session is an adversarial interview where the AI challenges your plan or idea with persistent, probing questions. It is designed to sharpen thinking by forcing you to defend or revise every part of your proposal.

Can I use this for ideas that are not fully written down?▼

Yes. The skill works on whatever plan, decision, or idea you have in front of you, whether it is a polished document or a rough verbal description. The interview adapts to the material you provide.

When should I not use an adversarial plan review?▼

Avoid it when you need generative brainstorming or encouragement for early-stage ideas, since relentless questioning can shut down fragile concepts. It works best once a plan is concrete enough to defend.
