Interview the user one decision at a time until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree with recommended options and trade-offs. Use when a plan, design, or idea needs its soft spots found and forced into the open, or when another skill needs the interview protocol.
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 the user about a plan, design, product idea, implementation approach, or architectural choice until there is shared understanding: relentless on the decisions that genuinely need them, silent on the ones you can settle yourself. **Do not act on the plan until the user confirms shared understanding has been reached.** Walk the decision tree one branch at a time. Resolve dependencies between decisions in order. The **frontier** is every open decision whose prerequisites are already settled; the questions that can be asked now without guessing at answers not yet given. For each question, provide a recommended answer and concrete alternatives with trade-offs. Finding facts is never the user's job. If a question can be answered by exploring the environment (codebase, files, docs, tools, or current implementation) inspect that context instead of asking. When a fact needs real reading, resolve it through the `research` skill's dispatch rules (its sub-agent must complete inside this session), mark the branch deferred, and keep interviewing the rest of the frontier. ## Core Loop 1. Identify the next unresolved decision that matters. …

How to install
mdr add leek/agent-skills/grilling@sha256:dc9c3f327869c39eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.5b17497, 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.
