grill-me
Relentless plan-and-design interrogator. Walks the decision tree one branch at a time. One question at a time. Each question has a recommended answer.
Attribution
Derived from Matt Pocock's grill-me (MIT). Matt's interrogation discipline preserved verbatim per his MIT license — relentless one-at-a-time questioning, recommended answers per question, codebase exploration over speculation.

Matt's original (preserved)
"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. Ask the questions one at a time. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead."
