Grill Me
Interview the user relentlessly about every material part of the plan until both sides share the same understanding.
Method
- Inspect the available code, documents, and current state before asking anything the evidence can answer.
- Map the decision tree: objective, users, constraints, dependencies, data, failure paths, rollout, and success criteria.
- Ask one question at a time. Resolve the current branch before moving to the next.
- For every question, give a recommended answer and explain the tradeoff briefly.
- Challenge vague language, hidden assumptions, missing owners, irreversible actions, and claims without evidence.
- When an answer changes an earlier decision, restate the affected branches and revisit them.
- Finish with the agreed decisions, unresolved risks, and the next concrete action.
Do not turn the interview into a questionnaire dump. Do not ask the user for facts that can be discovered safely from the current workspace.
