SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you eliminate ambiguity in a plan or design by forcing clear, branch-by-branch alignment until you and the user share the same understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless interview-driven design alignment: Asks one question at a time to resolve dependencies between decisions.
  • Decision-tree coverage: Walks through each branch of the design tree to surface tradeoffs and open questions.
  • Codebase-aware answers: If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it does so to ground recommendations.

Quick Start

Use the grill-me skill to interview yourself about a plan or design until every decision and dependency is resolved and you have one recommended answer for each question.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify ambiguous requirements for a design review?▼

To clarify ambiguous requirements for a design review, use a structured interview process that asks one question at a time to resolve dependencies. This branch-by-branch approach surfaces tradeoffs and eliminates plan ambiguity to reach shared stakeholder alignment.

What is the best way to map dependencies across a decision tree?▼

The best way to map dependencies across a decision tree is through relentless interview-driven alignment. By asking one question at a time and resolving each branch sequentially, you can surface open questions and clearly define tradeoffs within your design.

Can codebase analysis help answer design review questions?▼

Yes, codebase analysis can help answer design review questions by exploring the codebase to ground recommendations. When a question can be answered by examining existing code, the system explores it directly to produce a recommended answer.

How do I achieve stakeholder alignment on an unclear plan?▼

You can achieve stakeholder alignment on an unclear plan by guiding a structured, question-by-question interview. This forces branch-by-branch resolution of decisions and dependencies until all parties share the exact same understanding of the design.

Does interview-driven design alignment work for complex decision trees?▼

Yes, interview-driven design alignment works for complex decision trees by walking through each branch to resolve dependencies sequentially. It handles complex tradeoffs by limiting the interview to one question at a time until every open dependency is resolved.

When should I avoid using a question-by-question interview for requirement clarification?▼

You should avoid using a question-by-question interview for requirement clarification if your plan or design already has zero ambiguity. This structured branch-by-branch alignment process is specifically built to stress-test and resolve unclear dependencies rather than validate finalized designs.
