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 until all decision points are resolved and both parties share a complete understanding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Relentless Structured Interviewing: Walks down each branch of the design decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - One Question at a Time: Asks focused questions sequentially, providing a recommended answer for each to keep the discussion moving. - Codebase-Grounded Answers: Explores the codebase directly when a question can be answered by reading code instead of asking the user. - Use Case: Before implementing a new feature, ask to be grilled on your design so edge cases, trade-offs, and dependencies are resolved before writing any code. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your implementation plan for the feature you are about to build.

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

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.

What is the grill-me skill used for?▼

It stress-tests plans and designs by relentlessly interviewing the user about every aspect of the proposal. For each question it provides a recommended answer, and it explores the codebase directly when a question can be answered from code.

Does the interview answer questions from the codebase automatically?▼

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the Skill reads the code instead of asking the user, keeping the interview focused on decisions that genuinely require human input.

When should I not use an interview-style plan review?▼

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no design trade-offs, since the question-by-question process adds overhead. It is best suited to plans with multiple decision branches, dependencies, or unresolved assumptions.
