Grill Me

If running interactively (human present), output "Read Grill Me skill." to acknowledge. If running with --dangerously-skip-permissions (AFK/unattended), skip acknowledgement and proceed directly.

<what-to-do> 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, waiting for feedback before continuing.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead. </what-to-do>

<interviewing-discipline> ### Sharpen fuzzy language When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."

Discuss concrete scenarios

When domain relationships or flows are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent edge cases that force the user to be precise about boundaries and behaviour.

Cross-reference with code

When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?" </interviewing-discipline>

Handoff

After reaching shared understanding, offer the user three paths:

1. /write-a-prd — capture decisions as a formal PRD
2. /prd-to-issues — break directly into GitHub issues
3. /do-work — start implementing immediately

Let the user choose.

If context fills up during the interview, follow the standard handoff protocol (@~/dotfiles/instructions/handoff.instructions.md) — persist decisions made so far to working/ and provide the pickup command.
