SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and decisions often contain hidden assumptions and unexplored branches that only surface after execution fails. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by relentlessly interviewing you about a plan, decision, or idea until every open question is resolved and a shared understanding is reached. ## 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 question and providing a recommended answer for you to accept or reject. - Autonomous Fact-Finding: Dispatches sub-agents to look up facts from the environment instead of asking you for information it can find itself. - Use Case: Before writing a technical design doc, trigger the grilling session to expose unanswered questions about scope, constraints, and trade-offs, then proceed only after confirming shared understanding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your migration plan and answer each numbered round of questions until the frontier is empty.

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

Trigger a grilling session by describing your plan or decision. The skill maps it as a design tree and asks numbered questions in rounds, giving a recommended answer for each, until no open questions remain.

What is a design tree in decision planning?▼

A design tree models every decision as a node that branches into the sub-decisions depending on it. The frontier is the set of questions whose prerequisites are already settled, so they can be asked immediately without guessing.

How does the round-based questioning format work?▼

Each round presents the full frontier as numbered questions, each with a recommended answer marked by an arrow. Your answers settle decisions, unblock dependent questions, and trigger the next recomputed round.

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

No. When a question needs a fact from the filesystem or tools, it dispatches a sub-agent to find it rather than asking you. Only downstream questions wait for the result; the rest of the frontier is asked immediately.

When is a grilling session considered complete?▼

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.
