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 through a structured, relentless interview before you commit to action. ## 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 with each question so you can react to a concrete proposal rather than starting from scratch. - Environment-Aware Fact-Finding: Looks up verifiable facts from the filesystem or tools instead of asking you, reserving questions for genuine decisions. - Use Case: Before starting a migration project, invoke the grilling session to surface every unresolved decision—scope, rollback strategy, sequencing—until you confirm a shared understanding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you about your plan or decision, for example by saying "grill me about my plan to migrate the database to Postgres".

Frequently Asked Questions about grilling

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Invoke the grilling skill and state the plan or decision you want examined. The assistant interviews you one question at a time, walking each branch of the decision tree until every dependency is resolved and you confirm shared understanding.

How does the grilling skill ask questions?▼

It asks exactly one question at a time and waits for your answer before continuing, since multiple simultaneous questions are bewildering. Each question comes with a recommended answer you can accept, reject, or modify.

Does the grilling skill ask about facts it could look up itself?▼

No. If a fact can be found by exploring the environment, such as the filesystem or available tools, the skill looks it up directly. Only genuine decisions are put to you for an answer.

When does the grilling skill start acting on the plan?▼

It does not act until you explicitly confirm that a shared understanding has been reached. The interview phase continues until every decision branch is resolved to your satisfaction.

When should I not use a grilling-style interview?▼

Avoid it for trivial or fully specified tasks where decisions are already made, since the sequential questioning adds overhead. It is designed for ambiguous plans and ideas that need stress-testing, not routine execution.
