Pickup
When a session opens on a ready-for-human ticket, do not reflexively re-run /grill-with-docs. The agent brief is the contract — verify it against current code, then execute.
Why this skill exists
ready-for-human means two things:
- The spec is locked (intent has been grilled)
- The four-pass discipline in
/grill-with-docswas completed (surfaces traced, consumers grepped, branches enumerated,CONTEXT.mdupdated)
A full re-grill at pickup is wasted cost — it re-opens resolved questions. But triage runs at the issue tracker level, and the codebase may have drifted since the brief was written. Pickup is a verification pass against that brief — not a re-grilling cycle.
If you find yourself wanting to re-grill at pickup, that's a signal that either (a) the brief is genuinely incomplete (a triage discipline failure — escalate) or (b) you're slipping back into the old reflex (resist).
