Iteratively grill users to clarify vague requirements via layered questioning. Use when requirements are ambiguous, incomplete, or need refinement before implementation.
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.

# Grill Me
> Iteratively grill users to clarify vague requirements before any implementation begins.
This skill defines two modes for requirement clarification:
- **/grill-me**: Pure questioning flow — no file writes, chat-only, outputs a structured summary at the end.
- **/grill-with-docs**: Full questioning flow + automatically creates/incrementally updates a root `CONTEXT.md` file to persist business rules, terminology, and requirement boundaries.
Both modes follow the same systematic layered questioning approach covering business goals, input/output specs, edge cases, and hard constraints.
## When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Requirements are vague, incomplete, or self-contradictory
- A feature request lacks clear acceptance criteria
- Multiple interpretations of a requirement exist
- Building a feature that touches multiple systems or stakeholders
- Before writing any code to ensure shared understanding
## Modes
| Mode | Description | Reference |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| /grill-me | Pure questioning, no file writes, structured summary output | [grill-me](references/grill-me.md) |

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.13cf2a4, 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.
