Use when a user asks for or clearly wants to be grilled, interviewed, or to stress-test a plan or design, including when they mention "grill me". Resolve material decisions one at a time until scope, success criteria, and resources are explicit.

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

Use this skill when the user asks for or clearly wants to be grilled, interviewed,
or to stress-test a plan or design. It is an interview workflow, not
authorization to implement or modify anything.

- Inspect the repository, configuration, and available artifacts for facts that
  can be answered locally; do not ask the user for answerable facts.
- Identify unresolved decisions that materially affect scope, success criteria,
  constraints, resources, or execution order. Skip settled choices and
  low-impact minutiae.
- Ask exactly one focused question at a time. Include your recommended answer
  with each question and briefly explain why it is the recommended default.
- After each answer, update the decision state and continue to the next material
  branch. Do not reopen settled details unless new information creates a real
  conflict.
- Stop when material scope, success criteria, and resources or constraints are
  settled, or when the user switches to execution. Summarize the decisions and
  handoff; handle later implementation under the normal authorization and scope
  rules for that task.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sidiangongyuan/codex-skills-library/grill-me@sha256:e8591d4d82fa7dd8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.1cfe2a2, 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.
