A relentless, round-based interview that stress-tests a plan, design or decision against its own design tree until nothing is left silently assumed.

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

# /ws:grill — interview a plan until nothing is assumed

Keep interviewing until you and the operator reach a shared understanding
of what is being built. Map the subject as a **design tree**: every decision
branches into the decisions that hang off it.

This skill produces **understanding**, not artifacts. It writes nothing, changes
nothing, and does not begin the work. It ends by handing off.

## The frontier

The **frontier** is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the
questions answerable _now_, without guessing at answers you have not heard yet.
A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round
belongs to a _later_ round, not this one.

Work the tree in **rounds**. Each round asks the whole frontier, then waits.

## The round

### 1. Compute the frontier, and write it down

Recompute the frontier from everything settled so far, and state its size before
anything else: _"Frontier this round: 6 questions."_

**The frontier is fixed before a carrier is chosen.** It is never trimmed,
merged, or deferred to fit a display format. If the frontier does not fit the
carrier, the carrier loses.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add emaballarin/ccplugins/grill@sha256:60ac100e670a2633

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.feb6317, 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.
