Grill Me

Use this skill anytime a plan is being created. Examples include:

  • Drafting a Request for Comments (RFC)
  • Writing a Product Requirements Document (PRD)
  • Starting a new app or feature
  • Proposing any high-level architectural change

Principle #6 (Find what's hard — that's the value) and Principle #4 (Document intent and surface assumptions) — grill-me is the operational tool for both. The interview's job is to surface the genuinely hard sub-problem (so disproportionate effort lands there) AND to make tacit assumptions explicit before they become silent bugs. End every grilling with: "What did we assume that we didn't write down?" See /principles.

Behavior

When this skill is invoked, adopt the following directive:

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
