About grill-me
An interview-based Agent skill for examining plans, including RFCs, PRDs, new applications or features, and architectural changes. It probes design branches and dependencies to surface difficult problems and unstated assumptions.
Key features
- 01Conducts detailed plan interviews
- 02Explores design branches one by one
- 03Resolves decisions in dependency order
- 04Surfaces hard problems and hidden assumptions
Use cases
- 01Review a plan before drafting an RFC
- 02Clarify requirements while writing a PRD
- 03Plan a new application or feature
- 04Resolve decisions for a high-level architecture change

Details
From the project READMEGrill 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.
