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

Run a grilling session on your plan or design document. The skill interviews you with relentless questions that expose hidden assumptions, logical gaps, and unexamined risks before you commit to building.

What is a grilling session for design review?▼

A grilling session is a structured adversarial interview where your design is challenged with tough questions. It forces you to justify each decision, surfacing weaknesses that informal review typically misses.

When should I use a plan interview instead of a design doc review?▼

Use it when you have a draft plan or design and want to find flaws through questioning rather than passive reading. It works best before implementation starts, when changes are still cheap.

What are the limitations of interview-based plan review?▼

The session only probes what you articulate, so undocumented context may go unexamined. It also depends on your answers being honest and complete, and it does not replace empirical validation or prototyping.
