SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and design decisions often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies. This Skill runs a structured interview that maps decisions as a tree and asks only the questions whose prerequisites are already settled, surfacing gaps before implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Tree Mapping: Models every decision as a branch with dependent sub-decisions, tracking which are settled and which remain open. - Frontier-Based Rounds: Asks all currently answerable questions in one numbered round, each with a recommended answer, then recomputes the frontier after the user replies. - Fact Lookup Delegation: Resolves factual questions using available tools or sub-agents instead of burdening the user, reserving questions for genuine decisions. - Use Case: Before building a new feature, ask the agent to grill your plan; it will question scope, constraints, and dependencies round by round until the design is fully understood. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill your plan for the upcoming feature and answer each numbered round of questions until the decision tree is resolved.

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

Use a structured interview that maps your plan as a decision tree and asks questions in rounds. Each round covers only decisions whose prerequisites are settled, with recommended answers, until no open questions remain.

What is a design decision tree in planning?▼

A design tree models every decision as a branch with dependent sub-decisions hanging off it. Settled decisions push the frontier outward, unblocking questions that depended on them, so questions are asked in a valid order.

How does the interview handle questions needing factual information?▼

Factual lookups are never delegated to the user. The agent uses available tools or dispatches a sub-agent to find facts from the environment, asking the user only genuine decisions while exploration runs.

When does a structured grilling session end?▼

The session ends when the frontier is empty, the user asks to stop, or the user confirms remaining branches are out of scope. The agent does not act on unresolved decisions without explicit user confirmation.

When should I not use a structured interview for decisions?▼

Skip it for trivial, fully understood tasks where questioning adds no value, or when the user has already explicitly authorized implementation with the current decisions. It is designed for plans with unresolved ambiguity.
