Challenges a plan against the project's existing domain model, sharpens its terminology, and writes what settles into CONTEXT.md and ADRs as it settles. Use to stress-test a plan against the project's language and documented decisions, or when arriving from find-unknowns with open questions to resolve.
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 Decisions Interview the user relentlessly about a plan until every branch of the decision tree is resolved. Challenge it against the project's existing domain language and recorded decisions, and write what settles into canon as it settles. ## Stop before you start This skill spends the user's attention, so it only runs with a human in the loop. - No human present — an autonomous run cannot grill anyone. Stop and report what needs deciding. - Nothing named to resolve — there is no plan or open question yet. Run `find-unknowns` first. - The question is answerable from the codebase — read it instead of asking. Investigate observable questions using code, configuration, tests, and available observations before escalating them. For historical rationale, research recorded decisions and history; do not infer intent from current code. Distinguish evidence, inference, and unresolved gaps. Small targeted experiments must fit existing scope, permissions, and limits; this skill does not authorize additional pilots, budgets, or outward actions. Choose reversible implementation defaults within scope. Reserve the interview for preferences, …

How to install
mdr add arminzou/dotbrain/grill-decisions@sha256:41f7c288456b6d34The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.5b1062d, 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.
