Invoke the `grilling` skill and follow it.

That skill is the whole interview: design tree, frontier rounds, numbered questions with a recommended answer each. Nothing is restated here — a second copy would drift from the first.

**Use `grill-with-docs` instead whenever there is a working directory.** Same interview, but it also runs `domain-modeling`, so terminology and decisions land in `CONTEXT.md` and ADRs as they are settled rather than evaporating with the session. Reach for this one when there is no repo to write to, or when the outcome is a decision rather than a document.
