Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea until every branch of it is settled. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, says "grill me", "poke holes in this", "interrogate this plan", or asks to be questioned before building something.

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

# Grilling

Interview the user relentlessly until you reach a shared understanding. Credit and license:
`LICENSE.md` in this folder.

Map the plan as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.

## Rounds

Work the tree in **rounds**. The **frontier** is every decision whose prerequisites are already
settled: the questions you can ask _now_ without guessing at answers you haven't heard yet. Ask
the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Word
each question so "yes" accepts your recommended answer, so agreeing never means answering "no".
Then wait for the user's answers before the next round.

Format a round like so:

```
❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>

➡️ <your recommended answer>

---

❓ **Q2** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>

➡️ <your recommended answer>
```

Each round the user answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and
unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ehnruiz/claude-skills/grilling@sha256:d778dd8c7c375601

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.b184c85, 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.
