Grill me

Pressure-test a plan or design by interviewing the user until there is genuinely shared understanding: every consequential branch of the decision tree resolved, and the dependencies between those decisions settled in order. The point is not interrogation for its own sake — it is to surface the assumptions, edge cases, and forks now, at conversation cost, instead of mid-build or in production.

This is the on-demand, relentless counterpart to "think before coding." That habit asks for clarification when warranted; this skill commits to walking the entire tree before a line is written.

When to use

  • The user asks to be grilled, or to stress-test / pressure-test a plan or design.
  • A decision carries real stakes and a bad call is expensive to reverse: architecture, data model, public API shape, a migration, a dependency choice, a security boundary.
  • A plan is vague, broad, or hides many unstated branches.

Match intensity to stakes. A five-question interrogation of "rename this variable" is noise — skip the grilling for trivial or already-well-specified tasks.
