Interview the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test their thinking, get grilled on a plan or design, or mentions "grill me".

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 178 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If a _fact_ can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me.

    line 12
  2. Distinctive:

    Use the multiple choice question answer tool for questions with a discrete set of options.

    line 14
  3. Distinctive:

    Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.

    line 16
  4. Distinctive:

    Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.

    line 18

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 178 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Grill me

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, worded so "yes" accepts it.

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.

Use the multiple choice question answer tool for questions with a discrete set of options.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.

Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
