Use when a plan is fuzzy and needs hardening before a spec — decision-tree grilling in frontier rounds, every open decision put as a numbered question with a recommended answer, until shared understanding. Triggers: 'grill me', 'grill this plan', 'stress-test this', 'poke holes in this', 'harden this design', pre-spec hardening, unresolved decisions.

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

## Overview

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan or design until you reach a **shared understanding**. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

The goal is not to reach agreement quickly — it is to make every implicit call explicit, so nothing important is left silently assumed.

Grilling is an interview, not an execution — it produces alignment, not artifacts. Every decision surfaced and settled is what the `spec` stage synthesizes afterward.

## When to Use

- User says "grill me", "stress-test this plan", "poke holes in this", "harden this design"
- A plan feels roughly right but unresolved decisions are hiding in it
- Before writing a spec (pre-spec hardening)
- User wants to find soft spots in a design before committing to code
- Before any S2/S3 build — and any S1 build whose ask is ambiguous — where the plan is still fuzzy and the domain language isn't settled (routing: `orchestrator/references/risk-routing.md`)

**Don't use for:**

- Plans that are already fully specified — go straight to the `spec` stage
- Simple, unambiguous tasks

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moonlight-lupin/agent-skills/grill@sha256:62aeb55ea7fccfb9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
