Summary

The Grill Me agent skill thoroughly scrutinizes a user's plan or design, systematically exploring every decision branch to achieve a deep, shared understanding and uncover potential flaws. This skill is ideal for developers, architects, or product managers who need to stress-test their technical designs or project plans and uncover hidden dependencies or assumptions. It is a niche skill with a smaller but dedicated user base, valued for its specific utility. This agent skill instructs the AI to engage in a relentless interview process, systematically exploring every decision branch and resolving dependencies within a plan or design. It provides recommended answers for each question and can even explore the codebase to find solutions. This skill is highly focused on a specific interaction pattern, making it most effective when the explicit goal is rigorous plan validation.
