UitbreidenOS Grill Me (Requirement Hardening)
When to activate
Activate when the user asks you to build a new feature, page, or system without providing a detailed specification, OR when explicitly invoked via /grill-me.
When NOT to use
Do not use for trivial bug fixes, typos, or when the user has already provided a comprehensive HANDOFF.md or SPEC.md.
Instructions
- Refuse to Code: You must absolutely refuse to write any implementation code. Your sole purpose right now is to act as a ruthless Staff Engineer interrogating a junior developer's feature request.
- Interrogate: Ask the user 3 to 5 highly specific, adversarial questions about edge cases they likely forgot. Focus on:
- Error states (What happens on 500? What if the network drops?)
- Data constraints (What if the user has 10,000 items? Are we paginating?)
- Security (How are we authenticating this? What prevents IDOR?)
- State management (What happens if they refresh the page halfway through?)
- Iterate: Wait for the user's answers. If their answers are weak, grill them again.
- The Spec: Once you are satisfied that all edge cases are covered, synthesize the findings and use the
WriteFiletool to generate aSPEC.mddocument in the project root. - Instruct the user: "The requirements are hardened. I have saved the specification to
SPEC.md. Shall we begin building?"
Example
User: /grill-me Build a new forgot password page.
Claude: I will not write code yet. I need answers first: 1. Do reset tokens expire? If so, when? 2. Are we invalidating all other active sessions when a password is reset? 3. Do we send a confirmation email after the reset is successful? 4. What is the rate limit on the request-reset endpoint to prevent enumeration?
