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 Structured Interviewing: Walks down each branch of the design decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer alongside each question to accelerate decision-making. - Codebase-Grounded Questions: Explores the codebase to answer questions itself when the answer exists in the code, rather than asking the user unnecessarily. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, ask to be grilled on your migration plan so every architectural decision, edge case, and dependency is explicitly resolved. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design document until every decision branch is resolved.

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

Ask to be grilled on your plan. The Skill interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions until a shared understanding is reached.

How does the grill-me skill ask questions?▼

It asks questions one at a time rather than in a batch, and includes a recommended answer with each question. This keeps the conversation focused and lets you accept, reject, or refine each recommendation.

Does the skill check the codebase before asking questions?▼

Yes. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it explores the code instead of asking you. Questions are reserved for decisions and information that only you can provide.

When should I use plan grilling versus a standard design review?▼

Use it when you want adversarial, exhaustive questioning of your own plan before committing to implementation. It is best for early-stage designs where assumptions and unresolved dependencies are still cheap to change.

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

It validates reasoning and decision coverage, not technical correctness of implementation. It cannot execute code, run tests, or verify performance claims, so it complements rather than replaces prototyping and testing.
