SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, ambiguities, and unresolved decisions that surface too late during implementation. This Skill runs a relentless interview session that challenges your plan or design with probing questions until the uncertainty is resolved. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Interrogation: Launches a /grilling session that systematically questions your plan or design to expose gaps and weak assumptions. - Pre-Implementation Clarity: Sharpens ideas before they are converted into specs, epics, or tickets in a delivery pipeline. - Use Case: Before writing a technical specification for a new feature, invoke this Skill to have the agent interview you about edge cases, constraints, and design trade-offs, producing a clearer and more defensible plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a grilling session on my current plan for the new feature so we can resolve open questions before writing the spec.

Frequently Asked Questions about grill-me

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Run a grilling session, which interviews you with targeted questions about your plan or design. The process exposes hidden assumptions and unresolved decisions so they can be settled before the plan is turned into a specification.

What is a grilling session in an agent workflow?▼

A grilling session is a structured interview where the agent relentlessly questions your plan or design. Its purpose is to remove ambiguity and sharpen decisions before downstream steps like spec writing or ticket creation.

When should I use plan interrogation instead of writing tickets directly?▼

Use it when the plan still contains open questions, unclear scope, or untested assumptions. Resolving these first prevents rework later, since tickets and specs built on vague plans typically need revision.

Can this Skill modify files or run code automatically?▼

No. It only launches an interactive interview session and has model invocation disabled. It contains no scripts, references, or assets, and performs no file modifications or external calls.

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

The quality of the outcome depends on your answers and the completeness of the initial plan. It clarifies decisions but does not validate technical feasibility against a codebase or produce implementation artifacts on its own.
