Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

This skill interviews the user relentlessly about a plan or design, using multiple-choice questions to walk through each branch of the decision tree. It helps product managers, engineering leads, designers, and solo developers surface hidden assumptions and resolve dependencies one question at a time, reaching shared understanding before implementation begins.

WHO IT'S FOR
Product Managers
stress-test product plans and roadmaps
Engineering Leads
validate architectural design decisions
Solo Developers
simulate peer review for design choices
Designers
refine interaction or system designs iteratively

1 skill file

Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.

Use this skill

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

I’m using

Claude Code / Cowork manual install

Installs: Single grill-me skill, installed by placing its SKILL.md or whole folder in the documented grill-me skills directory. · Claude Code, Cowork

  1. Copy the repository's `SKILL.md`, or the whole repository folder, into the Claude skills directory so the resulting skill file is located at `~/.claude/skills/grill-me/SKILL.md`. This is a manual filesystem step.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Stress-test a plan interactively

Uses grill-me

  • A plan or design to review, replacing `[paste your plan or design]`
  • Optional relevant project files or codebase context
Use the grill-me skill to stress-test this plan or design: [paste your plan or design]. Ask one focused multiple-choice question at a time, explore available project files yourself when they can answer a question, and continue until the decision branches are resolved. Then provide a concise summary of the decisions made.
