# Planning: 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.

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.
