TL;DR

This skill helps technical leads and architects pressure-test specifications or pull requests before they move to implementation. By comparing a proposed plan against existing documentation and source code, it identifies gaps in understanding and prevents the premature start of a build based on flawed assumptions.

It is particularly useful for refining launch packets for subagents or long-running coding tasks, ensuring that the agent has a grounded map of the territory before executing complex changes.

Pressure-test a complex implementation request

Uses grill-for-unknowns

  • A complex implementation request provided as the context for “this”
  • Access to the relevant documentation or source code
Use grill-for-unknowns before implementing this. Inspect the relevant docs/source first, then interview me one material question at a time until we have shared understanding.
