What it does

Stress-test plans and designs by asking forcing questions sequentially one branch at a time

Best for

When validating a plan or design requires relentless question-driven stress-testing rather than passive review.

Inputs
  • · plan, design, or architecture to stress-test
  • · decision tree (implicit or explicit)
Outputs
  • · series of forcing questions in sequential order
  • · recommended answers (where codebase provides evidence)
  • · decision log with answers
Requires
  • · 3 stdlib Python tools (decision-tree extractor, question generator, session-state tracker)
  • · 3 reference docs: forcing-question patterns + decision-tree completeness + when to stop grilling
  • · cs-grill-master persona agent
  • · /cs:grill-me slash command
  • · codebase explorer (resolve answers where possible)
Preconditions
  • · plan is articulated enough to ask questions about
  • · user willing to answer one question at a time
Failure modes
  • · Questions diverge into tangents, user loses focus
  • · Recommended answers based on shallow codebase grep miss domain context
  • · Grill stops too early or continues after decision is made
Trust signals
  • · 3 stdlib Python tools (tree extractor, question generator, session tracker)
  • · 3 deep references (forcing-question patterns + tree completeness + stopping rules)
  • · cs-grill-master persona + /cs:grill-me command
  • · Derived from Matt Pocock MIT grill-me skill (interview discipline preserved)
  • · Codebase explorer resolves answers where evidence exists
