Use when a technical writeup, blog post, war story, or "Show HN" is about to go to Hacker News, Lobsters, or any skeptical technical audience, or when the user says "grill this", "make it HN-ready", "harden this post", "is this ready to post", "will this survive the comments". Hardens facts, sourcing, voice, and comment-readiness. Not for identity/infra leak scrubbing (use plate) or repo publication (use publish-readiness).
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
On Hacker News and Lobsters the top comment is usually someone who has done the exact thing you wrote about. Grilling is the pass that gets a post ready to be read by that person: every claim sourced or flagged, the voice de-hyped, the story real instead of impressive, and the obvious objections already answered. You are not writing for the upvote. You are writing for the skeptic who has been here before.
**Core principle:** a fabricated specific is the fastest way to lose the thread to the one reader who knows. Flag what you cannot verify; never dress a gap as confidence.
## The pass (run in order)
1. **Voice: kill the underdog.** Strip the effort-proving "I did X, I did Y, I opened the chassis, I ran the cabling" cadence. The byline already says you did the work; arguing it reads as insecure. Tell the story and let the specifics carry it. Cut sentences that exist only for rhythm or motivation ("That is the job.", "future pain with confidence.").

How to install
mdr add escoffier-labs/skillet/grill@sha256:6a4c7978e2672ad3The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.3, 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.
