Best PromptsGrilling Skill
The interview primitive: one question at a time until shared understanding, a recommended answer each turn, facts looked up, decisions left to you.
--- name: grilling description: Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Use when the user wants to stress-test their thinking, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases. --- Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer. Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering. If a *fact* can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me. The *decisions*, though, are mine. Put each one to me and wait for my answer. Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
