# Grill Me

> Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan or design before writing code — asks probing questions one at a time, walks every branch of the decision tree, and surfaces implicit assumptions. Triggers on "grill me", "stress-test this plan", or "challenge my design".

# Grill Me

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.

For each question, provide your recommended answer so the session keeps moving.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for my response before continuing.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead of asking.

**REQUIRED COMPANION:** grill-with-docs — same session but also cross-references your domain glossary and ADRs. pocock-grill-me — Matt Pocock's framing of why grilling before coding matters.
