What It Is

An interrogation-style plan review skill. Before you write code, it makes your AI challenge your assumptions, press on edge cases, demand alternatives, and keep pushing until every branch of your decision tree has an answer.

What’s Actually Different

Most AI assistants respond to a plan with “Great idea, let me implement it.” Grill Me does the opposite — it questions you first. Similar to Matt Pocock’s /grill-with-docs skill, but that one ties into project documentation. Grill Me is better for early-stage plan discussions.

Who It’s For

Developers who think before they code and want AI to help expose blind spots early. If you frequently find yourself halfway through implementation only to discover a fundamental flaw in your approach, this skill catches those upfront.

Bottom Line

Have AI interrogate your plan before you build it — cheaper than rebuilding after.
