Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".Key capabilities
- →Interview user
- →Stress-test designs
- →Resolve decision branches
- →Validate dependencies
How it works
It systematically asks questions to explore every branch of a design tree until shared understanding is reached.
Inputs & outputs
When to use grill-me
- →Stress-testing project designs
- →Validating plan dependencies
- →Exploring architectural edge cases
- →Ensuring team alignment
About this skill
Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
Ask the questions one at a time.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
When not to use it
- →When the user wants a quick answer
- →When the plan is already fully validated
Limitations
- →Can be time-consuming
How it compares
It forces the user to clarify dependencies and edge cases through relentless questioning.

thought-patterns
markpitt
Orchestrates comprehensive cognitive thinking patterns including sequential, systems, lateral, divergent/convergent, abductive, analogical, first-principles, double-loop learning, gestalt, metacognitive, and neurodivergent patterns (ADHD hyperfocus, autistic detail-orientation, dyslexic spatial reasoning). Analyzes tasks to select optimal pattern(s), chains multiple patterns when needed, and validates outputs before responding. Use for complex problem-solving, creative tasks, analytical challenges, or when diverse cognitive approaches enhance solution quality.
gathering-requirements
CaptainCrouton89
Systematically clarify user needs, preferences, and constraints before planning or implementation. Classifies work type, investigates existing systems, discovers edge cases and integration points, resolves assumptions, and creates detailed specifications. Use when building features, enhancements, or integrations where requirements need clarification.
the-fool

Use when challenging ideas, plans, decisions, or proposals using structured critical reasoning. Invoke to play devil's advocate, run a pre-mortem, red team, or audit evidence and assumptions.
