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

A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design — by **Matt Pocock** ([mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills)).

## Use case

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- Stress-test a plan or design before implementation.
- Challenge assumptions, unclear goals, and weak tradeoffs.
- Expose gaps and blind spots in a proposal.
- Reach shared understanding on a complex decision.
- Mentions "grill me" or asks to be grilled.

## Core principle

Grilling is a **stateless interview primitive**. It writes no files and leaves no workspace behind. The only output is a sharper version of the idea, in the user's own head.

## Workflow

1. **Start fresh** — Invoke this skill in a fresh conversation, not on top of an existing plan.
2. **Ask one question at a time** — Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
3. **Provide recommended answers** — For each question, offer your recommended answer alongside the question.
4. **Explore the codebase** — If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore it instead of asking.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/grill-me@sha256:ae9224cf381fd3bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.54f6831, 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.
