grill

Interrogate the user before implementing a non-trivial or ambiguous ask, converging on shared intent. Use when the user says "grill me", when an ask admits multiple interpretations, or before any sizable piece of work whose intent isn't fully clear.

grill — converge on intent before work

Intent: an agent that implements a half-understood ask wastes the user's time twice. The deliverable of this skill is shared understanding, not code.

Question zero — is this the right question? Verdicts:

  1. Wrong question — the ask, even done perfectly, wouldn't serve the actual goal. Stop, name the underlying problem, propose the question that would serve it.
  2. Right problem, misaimed ask — the goal is sound but the requirement overshoots, undershoots, or aims at a symptom. Adjust it and confirm the adjusted version.
  3. Right question — proceed silently.

An honest "this smells wrong because X, though I don't have a better formulation" is a legitimate report.

Guardrails:

  • One question at a time. Challenge, don't validate — your value is pressure-testing the user's judgment, not agreeing with it.
  • Check the wiki first (llm-wiki skill) so settled decisions aren't re-litigated.
  • No code yet. Scale depth to ambiguity: a nearly-clear ask needs one question or none.

Exit: a compact "here's what I understood — confirm" summary. For most tasks that confirmed summary IS the spec — work from it directly. If the task looks large or multi-session, offer the spec skill; create the file without asking when obviously needed.

Review a design artifact (spec, plan, PR packet) with fresh, memoryless subagents. Invoke when the user asks — "goldfish this", "fresh eyes", "tear this apart" — or after suggesting it for a spec that has grown load-bearing and the user agrees.

Launches and supervises long-running commands — solves, workflows, downloads, builds — detached with a log, PID and exit sentinel, then tells stuck from slow and kills verifiably. Use before running anything that may exceed a minute, for nohup or background launches, and when a run hangs, shows no output, or timed out.

Build and maintain a persistent, LLM-maintained markdown wiki following Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern — the agent incrementally compiles raw sources into an interlinked knowledge base instead of re-deriving answers from scratch. Use this whenever the user wants to ingest a source (an article, paper, transcript, chapter, meeting notes), file knowledge or conversation findings into the wiki, query the accumulated knowledge base, lint or health-check the wiki, or mentions "the wiki", "knowledge base", "ingest this", "file this", "what do we know about X", or accumulating notes on a topic over time — even if they don't say "LLM Wiki" explicitly.
