SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Design decisions and plans often contain hidden assumptions and unresolved dependencies that surface too late. This Skill stress-tests your thinking by interviewing you relentlessly, one question at a time, until every branch of the decision tree is resolved and a shared understanding is reached. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sequential Interrogation: Asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your answer before continuing, avoiding overwhelming multi-question dumps. - Decision Tree Traversal: Walks down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one, with a recommended answer provided for each question. - Fact vs. Decision Separation: Looks up verifiable facts from the environment (filesystem, tools) instead of asking, while reserving all decisions for you. - Use Case: Before writing a PRD or implementation plan, run a grilling session on your proposed architecture so that every trade-off is explicitly decided and confirmed before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to grill you about your plan or design decision until you reach a shared understanding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a design decision before implementation?▼

Use a structured interview approach where each decision is questioned one at a time until all dependencies are resolved. The grilling method walks every branch of the decision tree and requires your explicit confirmation before proceeding.

What is the grilling skill used for in a coding workflow?▼

Grilling stress-tests plans and ideas after initial brainstorming and before writing PRDs or implementation plans. It surfaces hidden assumptions by asking sequential questions, each with a recommended answer you can accept or reject.

Does the grilling skill make decisions for me?▼

No, all decisions remain yours. The skill provides a recommended answer for each question, but it waits for your feedback and never acts until you confirm a shared understanding has been reached.

When should I not use one-question-at-a-time interviews?▼

Avoid this approach for trivial decisions or when requirements are already fully specified and approved. The sequential format adds ceremony that pays off only when decisions have real dependencies and trade-offs to resolve.

Can the agent look up facts instead of asking me?▼

Yes, verifiable facts are retrieved by exploring the environment such as the filesystem and available tools rather than asked. Only genuine decisions are put to you, keeping the interview focused on judgment calls.
