Grill the presentation product
Use when product-grill is the current gate.
- Read repo instructions,
SOURCE-INVENTORY.md, and the cited source files before asking anything. - Investigate discoverable answers in the sources instead of asking the user.
- Cover the full product model: audience, problem, outcome, promise, evidence threshold, constraints, success test, and out of scope.
- Ask one question at a time when a consequential decision is still unresolved.
- Include a recommended answer with each question.
- Explain what the decision would invalidate downstream when that impact exists.
- Use
references/autonomous-brief.mdfor the autonomous fallback when the user is unavailable (headless run) or the remaining product decisions are resolvable from the sources — resolve each open field with a defensible value, its rationale, and a confidence level, and flag any low-confidence load-bearing decision for later human review instead of silently guessing. - Let any consequential change to Audience, Problem, Outcome, Promise, Evidence threshold, Constraints, Success test, or Out of scope invalidate downstream gates.
Write PRESENTATION-BRIEF.md from templates/PRESENTATION-BRIEF.md.
- Update the brief as soon as a question is resolved.
- Keep the brief decision-oriented and concrete.
- Prefer short sentences, explicit tradeoffs, and measurable success tests.
Write only consequential decisions to GRILL-LOG.md from templates/GRILL-LOG.md.
- Append new decisions without deleting or rewriting entries from other grill phases or earlier runs.
- Preserve existing decisions from story or stage grilling.
- Log decisions that materially change evidence, story, prototype, stage, or production work.
- Skip minor wording preferences and reversible drafting details.
- Stop once the brief is coherent enough for the evidence or story gate to proceed.
