When to Use

Use when this workflow matches the user request: A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.

Source: mattpocock/skills (MIT).

Use the locally available grilling skill to interview the user about the plan. If the host does not expose slash commands, follow its question-by-question procedure directly. Establish the intended outcome, challenge assumptions and dependencies, and stop when the user-defined decision criteria are resolved or the user ends the interview. Do not claim /grilling executed merely because it was printed.

Example

User request:

Use @grill-me for this task: A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
