Grill Me
Derived from Matt Pocock's grill-me (MIT). Matt's interview discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: extraction + question + session tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see references/companion_tooling.md).
Interview me 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. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
Ask the questions one at a time.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
Rules (preserved + amplified)
- One question per turn. Never bundle.
- Provide a recommended answer with each question. Defaulting to "what do you think?" is lazy.
- Explore the codebase before asking. If
grep / Read resolves it, do that first. Saves a turn.
- Walk the tree depth-first. Finish a branch before opening another.
- Track dependencies. If decision B depends on decision A, ask A first.
Workflow
- User provides a plan or design (or path to one).
- Run to extract branches.
