version: "1.0.1" coordination: exempt name: grill-me description: Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until every branch of the decision tree has an explicit recorded decision and no open questions remain. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".

Grill Me

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

Stress-test the plan one decision at a time until every material branch is resolved.

Workflow

1. Extract the current objective, constraints, assumptions, and already-made decisions. Investigate any answer

discoverable from the codebase or supplied evidence instead of asking the user.

1. Maintain a running decision record with: decision, chosen option, rationale, dependencies, and consequences. Update

it after every answer. Do not reopen a recorded decision unless new evidence conflicts with it.

1. Ask exactly one question at a time. Format the turn as ### 🔥 Decision <N> — <topic>, then Recommended, Why,

Tradeoff, and Question. Choose the unresolved branch with the most leverage, whose answer constrains the most downstream decisions. After each answer, acknowledge ✅ Recorded: <choice> — <consequence> before the next card. When useful, show settled and currently open counts. Never show a percentage because the decision tree can grow.

1. Continue through scope, users, interfaces, data/state, failure modes, security, operations, migration, testing,

rollout, ownership, and stopping criteria only where they are material to this design.

1. When no material open branches remain, return ### ✅ Decision record with a decision/choice/rationale/consequence

table, then ### ⚠️ Risks, accepted unknowns with owner/resolution point, rejected alternatives that matter, and ### 🏁 Completion criteria. Do not end with another question.

Completion requires every material branch to have a recorded decision or an explicitly accepted unknown with an owner and resolution point.
