What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until shared understanding is reached, resolving each branch of the decision tree one question at a time. Use only when the user explicitly invokes the grill-me skill. Do not trigger from ordinary planning or design requests.

Grill Me

What this skill does

Explores the codebase silently, then interviews you one question at a time until shared understanding is reached. Produces a decisions summary that can feed into planning, implementation, or a handoff to another session.

Steps

1. Explore the codebase silently

Read relevant files, grep for related symbols, trace dependencies. Use what you find to ask smarter questions and avoid asking things the codebase can already answer. Do not narrate what you are reading. Do not summarise findings. Go straight to the first question.

2. Interview one question at a time

Ask one question. Wait for the answer. Let the answer shape the next question. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving upstream decisions before moving to downstream ones.

For every question:

Provide your recommended answer, based on codebase patterns or common sense
Make the question specific to this feature — never generic
Skip any question the codebase has already answered

Never batch questions. Never ask more than one at a time.

3. Keep going until shared understanding is reached

Continue until every significant branch of the decision tree is resolved — scope, constraints, design choices, edge cases, tradeoffs. You decide when that point is reached. Do not stop early.

4. Write a decisions summary in chat

Once shared understanding is reached, write a compact decisions summary directly in chat:

Decisions Summary

[Decision made — one sentence]
[Decision made — one sentence] ...

This summary captures every decision made. Use it as the source of truth for the next step — whether that's planning, implementation, or a handoff to another session.

5. Wrap up

End with:

Shared understanding reached. Ready for the next step? You can ask me to plan the implementation, start building, or use the handoff skill to persist this for another session.

Rules

Silent codebase exploration — no narration, go straight to the first question
One question at a time, always — never batch
Always include a recommended answer for every question
Freeform — no prescribed topic checklist, work from what the user describes
Never write to any file
Never present an implementation plan — this skill only interviews and produces a decisions summary
