# Grilling

Discipline for aligning on requirements when intent is unclear. Ask until the
ambiguity resolves, then stop.

## Rules

- Ask ONE question at a time.
- Prefer multiple choice (A/B/C); each option carries its implication.

## Format

> **Understood**: [your interpretation]
> **Unsure about**: [the specific ambiguity]
> **Options**: 1. [A] — [implications]  2. [B] — [implications]
> **Recommendation**: [choice + reasoning]

## Stop conditions

- Stop the moment intent is clear. Do not ask more to look thorough.
- If a default is obvious, proceed and state the assumption instead of asking.

This format matches the "When to Ask vs. Proceed" rule in `AGENTS.md`.
