This Skill subjects your thinking to rigorous, adversarial questioning so weaknesses are exposed before they become costly mistakes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adversarial Questioning: Relentlessly probes a plan, decision, or idea to uncover weak assumptions and unaddressed risks. - Trigger-Based Activation: Activates when the user asks to be grilled or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases to stress-test their thinking. - Use Case: Before pitching a product roadmap to leadership, ask to be grilled on it so you can anticipate tough questions about timelines, resourcing, and market assumptions. ## Quick Start Grill my plan to launch the new feature in Q3 and challenge every assumption behind it.

Can I use grilling for decisions other than project plans?▼

Yes, the skill applies to any plan, decision, or idea you want to stress-test. This includes business strategies, technical architecture choices, hiring decisions, or personal commitments where hidden assumptions could cause problems.
