grill-me

Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me". Run BEFORE /build when a feature idea is fuzzy and a PRD doesn't yet exist.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until you reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, propose your recommended answer so the user can accept, override, or refine.

Rules

  • One question at a time. Wait for the user's answer before moving on. Do not batch.
  • Recommend an answer with each question. "I'd default to X because Y — agree?" Forces the user to commit or counter; pure open-ended questions stall.
  • If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead. Don't ask the user about things that can be read.
  • Keep questions short and concrete. No multi-paragraph preambles. The user is here to be grilled, not lectured.
  • Stop when you've reached the leaves. When every branch of the decision tree is resolved or explicitly deferred, summarize the decisions and offer to convert them into a PRD via /build (or hand off to /grill-with-docs if the project has a CONTEXT.md).

Output at the end

A short bulleted list of the decisions reached, plus any explicitly-deferred questions. The user will paste this into /build (or you can offer to invoke it directly).

Lightweight build: explore → plan → approve → implement in a single Opus context, no sub-agent fan-out. Verifies build + tests, optionally commits, and offers a separate /code-review pass at the end. Use by default for everyday features; reach for /claude-setup:build only when the work needs parallel fan-out or exceeds one context.

Grilling session that challenges your plan against the existing domain model, sharpens terminology, and updates documentation (CONTEXT.md, ADRs) inline as decisions crystallise. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan against the project's language and documented decisions. Run BEFORE /claude-setup:build on non-trivial features in repos that have (or should have) a CONTEXT.md.
