Interrogate a plan, decision, or idea round by round until every open decision is settled and nothing is silently assumed. Use when the user says grill me, grill this, stress-test this, poke holes in this, or wants their thinking interrogated before committing to it.

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 me about $ARGUMENTS until we reach a shared understanding. Act on it only after I confirm we have.

Map the subject as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are settled. Work the frontier in rounds.

## Question Shape

Every round's questions follow my standing `AskUserQuestion` rules:

!`grep '^- ' ~/.claude/skills/ask/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null || echo '- **Fallback: no rule bullets found in ~/.claude/skills/ask/SKILL.md.** One question per open decision, a recommended option on every question, and split the batch when a follow-up depends on an earlier answer.'`

## Rounds

Ask the whole frontier in one round. `AskUserQuestion` caps a call at four questions, so when the frontier is wider, ask the four whose answers settle the most branches and name the deferred ones in prose. A question that depends on another open question waits for a later round.

Before each call, say in prose what the round is deciding, because the widget shows only the questions and options.

Every question settles a decision. Continue between rounds without asking permission.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bendrucker/claude/grilling@sha256:ef84ad7c9726e04a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.03f7155, 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.
