Use when the user asks to be grilled, or wants a plan, decision, idea, or draft stress-tested through a structured interview before any action.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Grill Me

Interview the user until you reach a shared understanding. The interview is the
deliverable. Do not implement, edit, or plan execution until the user confirms
shared understanding.

## Map the decision tree

Model the topic as a tree of decisions. Each answer can open new decisions
under it. Track each decision as settled, open, or blocked by an open
decision.

## Ask in rounds

The frontier is every open decision whose prerequisites are settled. Ask the
whole frontier in one round. Number each question. Give each question one
recommended answer and its tradeoff, worded so that "yes" accepts the
recommendation. A question that depends on another open
question belongs to a later round. After each round, wait for the answers,
update the tree, and recompute the frontier. Open each round with a short
restatement of settled decisions and open branches; the restated tree, not
earlier history, carries the interview state. Rounds are requested depth: they
may exceed a standing prose cap or one-at-a-time question rule but stay
scannable.

## Resolve facts yourself

Facts are your job; decisions are the user's. Resolve repository and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lawzava/megapowers/grill-me@sha256:fee8a3968f7c1d5c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.d8b5030, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
