What I do
I orchestrate a plain grilling session — a relentless interview that sharpens a plan or design, with no doc artifacts produced. I delegate entirely to grilling-skill (the model-invoked interview engine).
Use grill-with-docs-skill instead if you also want the session to capture CONTEXT.md (glossary) and ADRs inline.
When to use me
Use this skill when:
- You want to stress-test a plan or design via interview, but don't need durable doc artifacts
- A quick alignment check before building is enough
Trigger phrases:
- "grill me"
- "interview me about this plan"
- "stress-test this idea"
Core Workflow
Step 1: Load the engine
Delegate all behavior to grilling-skill. Do not reimplement the interview loop.
Step 2: Run the grilling session
Apply grilling-skill's rules:
- One question at a time, each with a recommended answer
- Explore the codebase instead of asking when possible
- Walk the decision tree branch-by-branch until resolved or the user wants to build
Step 3: Conclude
Summarise the resolved decisions and any open questions. No files are written.
Rules
- Do not reimplement the engine. Delegate to
grilling-skill.
- No doc capture. If the user wants CONTEXT.md/ADR capture, redirect to
grill-with-docs-skill.
