Interrogate a plan or decision one question at a time before capture, keeping a decision-plus-rationale ledger, then route to the right capture skill.

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

Pressure-test a plan, decision, or idea **before** it is frozen into an artifact. `grill` sits at the pipeline's first stage — "discuss freely in chat" — and gives it teeth: it interrogates the thinking one question at a time, records every answer as a decision with its rationale, closes with a pre-mortem, then hands off to the right capture skill. It writes **nothing**; its output is a hardened discussion plus a decision ledger that a `to-*` skill then serializes.

**Input:** `$ARGUMENTS` — optional. A topic or free-form context to grill (e.g. "the retry design", "whether to shard the queue"). Empty → grill the plan/decision being discussed in the current chat.

**No setup gate, no setup.** `grill` reads nothing under `.task/` — `.task/CLAUDE.md` included, so the platform never auto-loads it here — so it runs in a fresh, unconfigured project before any capture exists. Dialog mirrors the language of the chat; facts are looked up with plain tools (Read / Grep / Glob / Bash).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add spair/task-pipeline/grill@sha256:8bf88563dc05b767

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.51b76e4, 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.
