Grill me

Matt Pocock (via Sebastian de Deyne):

This is an intro to the /grill-me skill, separate from my video on my top 5 skills. It’s the most flexible skill I’ve ever created, and one I use outside of coding too.

Here is the skill in all its glory:

markdown
---
name: grill-me
description: Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
---

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until
we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design
tree resolving dependencies between decisions one by one.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore
the codebase instead.

For each question, provide your recommended answer.

This skill is incredibly short — just a few lines that pack a powerful punch.

This skill is very useful for brainstorming. I have adopted it as well.
