A high-judgment design interview that sharpens plans in useful batches and records settled domain language and ADRs as the conversation progresses.

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-with-docs-requiem

Run a Requiem interview: press the design hard enough to expose real decisions, but do not make the user pay for questions an expert can infer. Use `/domain-modeling` throughout. Do not inherit `/grilling`'s one-question-at-a-time cadence for this skill; this skill batches questions because it is also maintaining docs and domain language.

## Invalid Behavior

Do not outsource obvious judgment to the user. A question is invalid when the answer is already clear from the scene, the existing docs, the codebase, or basic product sense.

Invalid question patterns:

- Asking whether a selected character should duplicate in its original seat and the center spotlight when the user already said the character moves.
- Asking a naming question where one option is ambiguous and the other names the domain concept clearly.
- Asking one tiny fork at a time when the next five forks are independent and can be answered together.
- Asking for permission to create `CONTEXT.md` or an ADR after the skill rules already say when those files should be created.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add checkpickerupper/skills/grill-with-docs-requiem@sha256:1fd5c7fccc392217

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.0a0453b, 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.
