# Grill Me > Derived from [Matt Pocock's grill-me](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/tree/main/skills/productivity/grill-me) (MIT). Matt's interview discipline preserved verbatim. Additions: extraction + question + session tools + references + cs-* wrapper (see [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md)). Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer. Ask the questions one at a time. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead. ## Rules (preserved + amplified) 1. **One question per turn.** Never bundle. 2. **Provide a recommended answer with each question.** Defaulting to "what do you think?" is lazy. 3. **Explore the codebase before asking.** If `grep` / `Read` resolves it, do that first. Saves a turn. 4. **Walk the tree depth-first.** Finish a branch before opening another. 5. **Track dependencies.** If decision B depends on decision A, ask A first. ## Workflow 1. User provides a plan or design (or path to one). 2. Run `scripts/decision_tree_extractor.py` to extract branches. 3. Run `scripts/question_generator.py` to produce the question list with recommendations. 4. Start a session: `scripts/grill_session_tracker.py --action start`. 5. Walk the tree, one question at a time, recording answers in the session. 6. When all branches resolved: report "shared understanding reached" + the locked-in decisions. ## Output Pattern Per question turn: ``` Q[i]/[total]: [question] Recommended answer: [your call + 1-sentence rationale] (Or: I explored the codebase and found [evidence]. Confirm?) ``` ## Tooling See [references/companion_tooling.md](references/companion_tooling.md). Tools: extractor + generator + tracker. Agent: `cs-grill-master`. Command: `/cs:grill-me`. --- **Version:** 1.0.0 **Derived:** Matt Pocock (MIT) + this repo's wrapper
