Stress-test an idea or decision through focused questions about consequential assumptions and tradeoffs. Use when the user asks to be grilled or questioned on an idea, or when another skill needs to settle open decisions with the user.

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

Help the user resolve the decision they actually need to make. Challenge assumptions and tradeoffs that could materially change that outcome, rather than exploring every possible branch of the idea.

## Set the decision boundary

Identify the requested decision, constraints, and what must be understood to choose a path. Reuse answers and accepted decisions from the conversation. Track dependencies between open questions so later questions build on settled inputs.

Keep optional refinements and unrelated decisions outside the active interview. Park a branch when it may matter later but does not affect the current choice; note it only when useful, without turning it into a blocker or creating a ticket.

## Ask focused rounds

- Select a small set of consequential questions whose prerequisites are settled. Prioritize questions that eliminate materially different outcomes or unlock dependent decisions. The set of answerable questions is a pool to choose from, not a list to ask all at once.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add marcellocurto/skills/grilling@sha256:83736812c82ea376

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.444423a, 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.
