|Interviews the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree one by one. Provides recommended answers for each question and explores the codebase when answers can be found there.
Overview
Grill Me is a skill from Matt Pocock's skills collection that acts as a relentless interviewer, walking through every aspect of a plan or design until both parties reach a shared understanding. It systematically resolves each branch of the decision tree by asking focused questions one at a time, providing its own recommended answer for each.
Key Features
- Systematic decision tree exploration: Walks down each branch of a design or plan, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one
- One question at a time: Avoids overwhelming the user by focusing on a single question per turn, allowing deep exploration of each topic
- Recommended answers provided: For every question asked, the skill provides its own suggested answer to guide the discussion
- Codebase-aware: When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it does so automatically rather than asking the user
Who is this for?
Developers and architects who want to stress-test their plans, designs, or technical decisions before implementation. Ideal for anyone who wants a thorough, structured review of their thinking โ whether it is an API design, system architecture, feature plan, or any decision that benefits from rigorous questioning.

A skill that runs a grilling session to challenge your plan against an existing domain model, sharpen terminology by building a shared language in CONTEXT.md, and document architectural decisions in ADRs before coding begins.
An agent skill from Matt Pocock's engineering toolkit that helps improve your codebase architecture. Part of a composable skill set designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes through structured, experience-based workflows.
Enforces test-driven development with a strict red-green-refactor loop using vertical slices (one test then one implementation at a time), emphasizing behavior verification through public interfaces rather than implementation-coupled testing.
Initial setup skill for Matt Pocock's engineering skills collection that configures your backlog manager, triage labels, and documentation paths for AI coding agents.
A collection of small, composable engineering skills designed for real development workflows, featuring grilling sessions for requirement alignment, issue tracking integration, and task triage with customizable labels.
A composable skill for triaging issues and tickets using configurable labels, designed to fix common failure modes in AI coding agents by providing structured backlog management workflows.
A collection of composable engineering skills by Matt Pocock designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes: misalignment via grilling sessions, verbosity through shared domain language (CONTEXT.md), code quality with TDD red-green-refactor loops, and codebase entropy with architecture improvement workflows.
A model-invoked productivity skill that interviews users relentlessly about a plan or design until every branch of the decision tree is resolved. It serves as the reusable interview loop behind the grill-me and grill-with-docs skills.
A model-invoked engineering skill that actively builds and sharpens a project's domain model by challenging terms against the glossary, stress-testing with edge-case scenarios, and updating CONTEXT.md and ADRs inline.
A model-invoked engineering skill that provides shared discipline and vocabulary for designing deep modules: maximizing behavior behind small interfaces, placing code at clean seams, and ensuring testability through public APIs.
