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

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

Stress-test the plan one decision at a time until every material branch is resolved.

## Workflow

1. Extract the current objective, constraints, assumptions, and already-made decisions. Investigate any answer
   discoverable from the codebase or supplied evidence instead of asking the user.
2. Maintain a running decision record with: decision, chosen option, rationale, dependencies, and consequences. Update
   it after every answer. Do not reopen a recorded decision unless new evidence conflicts with it.
3. Ask exactly one question at a time. Format the turn as `### 🔥 Decision <N> — <topic>`, then `Recommended`, `Why`,
   `Tradeoff`, and `Question`. Choose the unresolved branch with the most leverage, whose answer constrains the most
   downstream decisions. After each answer, acknowledge `✅ Recorded: <choice> — <consequence>` before the next card.
   When useful, show settled and currently open counts. Never show a percentage because the decision tree can grow.
4. Continue through scope, users, interfaces, data/state, failure modes, security, operations, migration, testing,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulrberg/agent-skills/grill-me@sha256:9a65a28227585f51

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.b512acb, 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.
