stolinski Use the grilling skill as the base discipline for this session. If it is not already loaded, follow the same rules directly: interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of the plan until you reach shared understanding, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
Ask questions one at a time, waiting for feedback before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.
For each question, provide your recommended answer before asking for the user's answer.
For each branch, give a recommended answer, but treat the user's correction as the new truth immediately. Do not defend the recommendation or drift back to it later.
If the grilled plan has a durable planning artifact, active slot, spec, issue, or notes file, update that artifact as decisions land instead of relying on chat memory. Keep the artifact concise; grilling should resolve decisions, not create bloated process.
When grilling creative/story work, keep the grill focused on consequential choices. Do not turn every transition into meaning, symbolism, logistics, or taxonomy; if the user says a step is "just setup" or "the function is that it is hot," accept the correction and ask the next body/action/consequence question.
Stop when the decision tree has enough load-bearing structure to produce the next artifact. If the next question would be "who cares" detail - checkout blocking, incidental gestures, redundant transition meaning, or anything that does not change the body/action/consequence - stop grilling and propose/produce the artifact instead.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
