What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Grill Me

Derived from Matt Pocock's grill-me (MIT). Matt's interview discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: extraction + question + session tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see references/companion_tooling.md).

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.

Rules (preserved + amplified)

One question per turn. Never bundle.
Provide a recommended answer with each question. Defaulting to "what do you think?" is lazy.
Explore the codebase before asking. If grep / Read resolves it, do that first. Saves a turn.
Walk the tree depth-first. Finish a branch before opening another.
Track dependencies. If decision B depends on decision A, ask A first.

Workflow

User provides a plan or design (or path to one).
Run scripts/decision_tree_extractor.py to extract branches.
Run scripts/question_generator.py to produce the question list with recommendations.
Start a session: scripts/grill_session_tracker.py --action start.
Walk the tree, one question at a time, recording answers in the session.
When all branches resolved: report "shared understanding reached" + the locked-in decisions.

Output Pattern

Per question turn:

Q[i]/[total]: [question]
Recommended answer: [your call + 1-sentence rationale]

(Or: I explored the codebase and found [evidence]. Confirm?)

Tooling

See references/companion_tooling.md. Tools: extractor + generator + tracker. Agent: cs-grill-master. Command: /cs:grill-me.
