About grill-me
grill-me is a planning-interview skill for people developing a design or plan. It asks one multiple-choice question at a time and continues through dependent decisions until the plan is mutually understood.
Key features
- 01One question at a time
- 02Multiple-choice questions with custom answers
- 03Explores dependencies between decisions
- 04Summarizes resolved decisions
Use cases
- 01Clarifying a project plan before implementation
- 02Working through design choices in sequence

Details
From the project READMEInterview the user relentlessly about every aspect of their plan until you reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
How to ask questions
Use the AskUserQuestion tool for every question you ask. Never pose questions as plain text in your response — always use the multiple-choice popup so the user can quickly select an answer or type a custom one.
Ask one question at a time. Wait for the user's answer before moving to the next question. This keeps the conversation focused and prevents overwhelm.
For each question, provide 2–4 concrete multiple-choice options representing the most likely answers or directions. Think about what the user would realistically choose — generic options like "Yes" / "No" aren't helpful unless the question is genuinely binary. The user always has the "Other" field available to write something custom.
Flow
- After receiving an answer, briefly acknowledge the decision (1–2 sentences max), then immediately ask the next question via AskUserQuestion.
- If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase or files, explore them yourself instead of asking the user.
- Continue until all branches of the design tree are resolved.
- When finished, provide a concise summary of all decisions made.
