    batch-grill-me

    A relentless interview that asks every frontier question at once, round by round. Thin alias of `grilling` (#540) — upstream mattpocock/skills absorbed this protocol into grilling; XP-Gate keeps this name as the sprint-flow Phase 2 entry point so orchestration docs stay stable.

    wayfinder

    Plan a huge chunk of work — more than one agent session can hold — as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.

    software-factory

    Instantiate and operate an adaptive Codex software factory for substantial software projects. Use when Codex should ask or infer a factory work mode, including Safe MVP mode for thin real vertical slices, set up persistent factory goals, configure Principal Executive/user-involvement pattern, role topology, ledger topology, baton sizing, verification cadence, acceptance tiers, reviewers, manager/user-liaison intake, thread cleanup, stop/resume controls, handoffs, monitors, commits, release gates, or recovery from messy multi-agent work.

The file

Files
SKILL.md

Run a stateful /probing session whose only output is workflow specs. Use the probing discipline (relentless, a round of questions at a time, a recommended answer attached to each) aimed at the vocabulary and goal below. Create, edit, and delete specs as the probing resolves things.

The loop lens

A loop is a recurring pattern in the user's life: their career, their week, their morning, a single repeated activity. Picturing a life as loops within loops reveals how predictable its activities really are, which is what makes them worth delegating. Use the lens to find loops worth specifying, and propose ones the user hasn't noticed.

A workflow is the spec of one loop, made real. You run a workflow on a loop: the loop is its running instantiation. Workflows live in workflows/*.md and are the source of truth.

Vocabulary

A shared language, reached for only when a workflow calls for it: never a checklist. Mandate nothing structural: a workflow needs no AI, no checkpoint, and no schedule unless the probing shows it does.

  • Trigger: what fires each run, an event (a new email, a new issue) or a schedule (every morning). Event-triggering is usually the more efficient.
  • Checkpoint: a human-in-the-loop point where the user is asked to verify or decide. Some workflows have none and run autonomously; some use no AI at all.
  • Push right: defer the checkpoint as far as it will go. Do maximal work before involving the human, so they are asked once, late, with everything prepared.
  • Brief: what a checkpoint presents, a tight, decision-ready summary (what was produced, why, and a link down to the asset itself), never the raw output. The user reads a brief, not a draft. Speed of review is imperative.

Definition of done

A workflow spec is done when an implementer agent could build it without asking a single question. Probe until then; nothing is done while a question remains.

The workspace

  • workflows/*.md: one spec per workflow.
  • NOTES.md: raw notes on the user's world, the tools they use, the channels they process, and their own terminology for both. When it is empty or thin, interview them about their world before specifying anything. Sharpen fuzzy terms into canonical ones as they surface, and record them here.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
