Grill Me

Relentlessly interview the user about every aspect of the topic until you reach shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies one by one. The real goal is to extract what's in their head into a durable, organized markdown file so nothing is lost as context fills up.

The capture file is the whole point

Long interviews fill up context. If you hold answers only in your head, you will eventually misremember, conflate, or drop something. So you checkpoint to disk after every single answer. The file, not your context, is the source of truth. Never make the user ask you to save progress.

Existing context and scope

Read the applicable AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, then only the context pages and prior captures relevant to the topic. Starter-kit context lives in context/, but follow an established project's declared routes instead of creating a duplicate knowledge store. Reuse facts already supplied; ask about gaps, changes, decisions, and tradeoffs. Installing the skill does not start an interview.
