# Grilling
Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of the plan or design under
discussion until you reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of
the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one.
Rules:
- Ask questions **one at a time**, waiting for the answer before the next — a
battery of questions is bewildering.
- With every question, give your **recommended answer** and a one-line why.
- If a question can be answered by the workspace instead of the user — search
the knowledge base, recall memory, read the code or docs — go look instead
of asking.
- Do not write code, enact the plan, or produce deliverables until the user
confirms the shared understanding is complete.
When the interview converges, restate the agreed plan compactly — decisions,
not transcript — and ask for the go-ahead. If a decision is durable (a
constraint or preference that outlives this session), offer to persist it to
memory.
