SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and decisions often contain hidden assumptions and unexplored branches that only surface after implementation begins. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by relentlessly interviewing you until every decision in your plan is explicitly examined and settled. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Tree Mapping: Models your plan as a tree of decisions where each choice branches into dependent sub-decisions. - Frontier-Based Rounds: Asks only the questions whose prerequisites are already settled, numbering each one and providing a recommended answer. - Autonomous Fact-Finding: Dispatches sub-agents to look up facts from the filesystem or tools instead of asking you for things it can find itself. - Use Case: Before starting a database migration, use this Skill to be grilled on rollback strategy, downtime tolerance, data validation, and sequencing until no assumption remains unexamined. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to grill you about your plan to refactor the authentication module before you start coding.

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

Use the grilling skill to be interviewed about your plan in structured rounds. It maps your decisions as a tree, asks every question whose prerequisites are settled, and continues until no assumption is left unexamined.

What is a design tree in decision planning?▼

A design tree models a plan as branching decisions where each choice spawns dependent sub-decisions. The grilling skill works this tree in rounds, asking only the frontier questions whose prerequisites are already answered.

How does the grilling skill format its questions?▼

Each question is numbered with a title, a detailed body that may include multiple choices, and a recommended answer marked with an arrow. All frontier questions are asked together in one round, then the skill waits for your answers.

Does the grilling skill ask me for facts it could look up?▼

No, the skill dispatches sub-agents to find facts from the filesystem or tools itself. It only asks you about decisions, and questions depending on a pending fact lookup are deferred to a later round.

When does a grilling session end?▼

The session ends when the frontier is empty, meaning every branch of the design tree has been visited and nothing is silently assumed. The skill will not act on the plan until you confirm shared understanding.
