| description | Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree and the sub-decisions it unlocks. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me", "devil's advocate", "challenge my assumptions", "poke holes in my plan", "what am I missing". Pass `--light` for a faster pass with no counter-challenges. |
Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving both top-level decisions and the sub-decisions they unlock. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
Ask one question at a time, waiting for me to answer before you ask the next. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering. Even when two sub-decisions are tightly coupled — parameters of the same choice, or a follow-up only meaningful given the first answer — ask them in sequence; the next question can come immediately after my answer, but never in the same turn.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore instead of asking. Keep exploring mid-interview whenever an answer surfaces a new constraint that reshapes later branches.
When I answer directly — not by picking from a menu you offered — push back once before accepting ("Did you consider X?", "What breaks if Y?"). One probe, then move on. Skip the challenge if I picked from your menu, or if I pass --light.
Stop condition
Stop when every branch and its unlocked sub-decisions have a decision or an explicit open question. Produce a wrap-up with three sections: Decisions made (with brief rationale), Assumptions accepted (each with a one-line justification), Open questions still requiring resolution.
Honesty rule: Any default I did not explicitly confirm belongs under "assumptions" or "open questions," never silently in "decisions." If assumptions exceed ~3 items, you missed questions — go back and ask.
NEVER
- NEVER accept "I'll figure that out later" — require a decision or mark it as an open question.
- NEVER ask more than one question in a single turn.
- NEVER stop at surface-level branches — drill into sub-decisions as they emerge from answers.
- NEVER silently default on something I didn't confirm.
