Invoke two skills and run them together: grilling and domain-modeling.
Neither is restated here. grilling supplies the interview — design tree, frontier rounds, numbered questions with a recommended answer each. domain-modeling supplies the discipline that runs underneath it: challenging terms against the glossary, sharpening fuzzy language, stress-testing relationships with concrete scenarios, and writing what is settled into CONTEXT.md and docs/adr/ as it crystallises, not batched at the end.
Prefer this over grill-me whenever there is a repo to leave a trail in. The interview is identical; the difference is whether the shared understanding survives the session. Use grill-me when there is no working directory, or when the outcome is a decision rather than a document.
Handing off
Grilling produces a shared understanding, not an execution plan. When the frontier is empty, pick the pipeline the work actually needs:
/startcycle— a straight run with file hand-offs; the usual choice/startcycle-graph— when the durablestate.json, the Reviewer repair loop and human escalation earn their overhead/startcycle-graph-user— a throwaway 2–4 node fan-out, nothing persistent left behind
/bdbrainstorm and /bdbmediastorm run this interview as their own first step; do not run it twice.
