Grill Me 🔥
Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of the plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
Process
- Ask questions one at a time
- For each question, provide your recommended answer
- Wait for user response before proceeding
- Explore the codebase if a question can be answered by code
Question Categories
Scope & Requirements
- What is the core problem we're solving?
- Who are the users and what do they need?
- What are the success metrics?
- What constraints must we respect?
Architecture & Design
- How does this fit with existing systems?
- What are the key interfaces?
- Where are the coupling points?
- What are the failure modes?
Technical Decisions
- Why this approach over alternatives?
- What are the tradeoffs?
- What's the rollback plan?
- What are the testing requirements?
Risks & Edge Cases
- What could go wrong?
- What's the worst case scenario?
- What have we missed?
- What assumptions are we making?
Output
After the grilling session, summarize:
- Key decisions made
- Remaining open questions
- Recommended approach
- Risks identified
When to Stop
Stop when:
- All major decision branches are resolved
- User says "enough"
- The answers become "I don't know / need to check"
- We've gone 10+ rounds without new information
