Grill Me

Runs a pre-planning decision grill: asks hard clarifying questions with concrete options and a recommended default, writes every answer into the project vault as Decisions, and refuses to implement until the user answers. Use when the user says "grill me", starts a big planning session, begins a new project phase, or asks to lock decisions before implementation.

Grill me

Lock decisions in the vault before code. Chat + vault only — no product implementation.

  1. Skim Hub / open questions / Decisions / plan; grill gaps only.
  2. Durable answers → vault Decisions (clear matching open questions). Deferrals/spikes that matter later go there too. Skip one-off micro-tweaks (encode in code or a single brand/style note). If the vault project is a git repo, commit Decision writes (no push unless asked).
  3. Batches of 3–7 questions. Each: options, recommended default + why, room to override.
  4. End with Ready to implement? + a one-screen verifiable plan; wait for go.

Existing Decisions bind. Revisit only if asked, contradicted, stale/blocking, or notes disagree — then update in place (date/reason).

No vault: ask where Decisions live before implementing.

Example:

Auth session storage?
A) Cookie session
B) Bearer in localStorage
C) httpOnly cookie + refresh
Recommend: C — matches existing API auth.
