SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans, decisions, and ideas often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that only surface after execution begins. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by relentlessly interviewing you about every aspect of a plan until a shared understanding is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Interrogation: Asks one question at a time, walking down each branch of the decision tree and resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. - Recommended Answers: Provides a recommended answer for each question so you can accept, reject, or refine it rather than starting from scratch. - Fact Lookup vs. Decisions: Looks up verifiable facts from the environment (filesystem, tools) instead of asking, while reserving all judgment calls for you. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, have the AI grill you on scope, rollback strategy, testing approach, and team impact until every decision is explicit and confirmed. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to grill you about your plan, for example: "Grill me about my plan to migrate our database to PostgreSQL."

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

Use the grilling skill to have the AI interview you about every aspect of your plan. It asks one question at a time, walks each branch of the decision tree, and waits for your confirmation before acting on anything.

How does the grilling skill ask questions?▼

It asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your feedback before continuing, since multiple simultaneous questions are bewildering. For each question it also provides its own recommended answer for you to accept or reject.

Does the grilling skill make decisions for me?▼

No. Facts that can be found by exploring the environment are looked up automatically, but all decisions remain yours. The AI puts each decision to you individually and waits for your answer.

When will the grilling skill start acting on my plan?▼

Only after you explicitly confirm that a shared understanding has been reached. Until that confirmation, it continues asking questions and resolving dependencies between decisions without taking action.

When should I not use the grilling approach?▼

Avoid it for trivial, low-stakes tasks where interrogation overhead exceeds the risk of a missed assumption. It is designed for consequential plans and decisions where hidden dependencies could cause real problems.
