SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and unexplored branches that only surface during implementation. This Skill systematically interrogates every aspect of a plan so gaps and weak decisions are exposed before work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless one-at-a-time questioning: Walks down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions individually rather than overwhelming you with a question dump. - Recommended answers: For every question asked, it provides its own recommended answer so you can react to a concrete proposal instead of starting from a blank page. - Codebase-grounded inquiry: When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it investigates the code directly instead of asking you. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, invoke the skill and let it grill you on migration strategy, rollback plans, and edge cases until every decision branch is resolved and documented. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design, and answer each question one at a time until every decision branch is resolved.

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

Invoke the grill-me skill and present your plan. It asks questions one at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until every aspect reaches shared understanding.

How to get AI to challenge my design decisions?▼

Ask to be grilled on your design. The skill interviews you relentlessly about every aspect, and for each question it provides a recommended answer you can accept, reject, or refine.

Does the skill answer questions from the codebase automatically?▼

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it investigates the code directly instead of asking you, keeping the interview focused on decisions only you can make.

When should I not use a plan-grilling interview approach?▼

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no meaningful decision branches, or when requirements are already fully specified. The value comes from surfacing unresolved decisions, so well-settled plans gain little.
