| name | grilling |
| description | Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea until you both reach a shared understanding. You MUST use this before any creative work — building a feature, adding functionality, changing behaviour, designing a component — and before entering plan mode. Also use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or on any 'grill' trigger phrase. Spanish triggers: "vamos a hacer", "vamos a armar", "vamos a construir", "quiero hacer/armar/construir", "necesito que", "hay que agregar", "podemos hacer", "grilléame", "interrógame", "pregúntame lo que necesites", "cuestióname".

Interview the user relentlessly until you reach a shared understanding. Map this as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.
Work the tree in rounds. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the questions you can ask now without guessing at answers you haven't heard yet. Ask the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Then wait for the user's answers before the next round.
Each question should be formatted like so:
❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
➡️ <your recommended answer>
Each round the user answers reshapes the tree — settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a later round, not this one.
Finding facts is your job, never the user's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), dispatch a sub-agent to find it — don't ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block on it: a running exploration is an unsettled prerequisite, so only the questions downstream of it wait for the sub-agent to report — ask the rest of the frontier now. The decisions are the user's — put each to them and wait.
The session is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the design tree visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act on it until the user confirms you have reached a shared understanding.
