# Grill Me

A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design. Use when the user wants a plan or design stress-tested. Triggers on: grill me, grill this, stress-test my plan.

This skill is imported from `mattpocock/skills` (MIT) and is **user-invoked** upstream.

## When to use this skill

- A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design.
- Use when the user wants a plan or design stress-tested.
- Triggers on: grill me, grill this, stress-test my plan.

## Instructions

Call the Skill tool with "grilling".

## Examples

- Apply this skill to one narrow scope first, confirm the output matches the shape described above, then widen to the full task.
- When a step needs a fact from the repository or the environment, look it up instead of asking the user for it.

## Best practices

- Keep the upstream procedure intact; record deviations explicitly instead of silently improvising.
- Stop and hand control back to the user at every decision point this skill marks as theirs.
- Prefer small reversible changes, and state assumptions rather than burying them.
