grill-me

An interactive discovery interview that questions an unfinished idea one decision at a time, then passes the result to an ISA scaffolding workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore an idea, plan, or decision, record the discussion, examine what could go wrong, and prepare an ISA scaffold.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague idea into a clearer plan before you start building its structure.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

grill-me scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

grill-me — ISA Grill workflow

Invoke the ISA skill's Grill workflow on $ARGUMENTS:

Skill("ISA", "grill me on $ARGUMENTS")

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask what idea/plan/decision to grill, then proceed.

Grill walks the design tree one question at a time (recommending an answer each turn, exploring the codebase instead of asking when it can), checkpoints every turn to ~/.claude/LIFEOS/MEMORY/WORK/{slug}/grill.md, runs a pre-mortem→ISC pass, and hands off to ISA Scaffold. Full procedure: ~/.claude/skills/ISA/Workflows/Grill.md.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
