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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.02377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01189 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00475 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00238 |
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 11d ago.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Grill-Me Skill
Authority: This skill augments superpowers:brainstorming; it does NOT replace it. Brainstorming expands the option space — grill-me converges decisions before they calcify in a memo, a restructure, a rubric, or a template. Adapted from mattpocock/skills/grill-me, retargeted from a software/database domain onto this docs/Markdown/Excel repo.
When to invoke
Ad-hoc, user-triggered. Invoke manually before:
- Opening a
docs/decisions/memo on a non-trivial call (a restructure, a grading-policy change, a supersession). - A course/subject-directory restructure or a stage-doc redesign.
- A rubric or weight change (e.g. re-weighting stages, changing a curve floor).
- A new template or a change to an existing one.
- Any brainstorming session the user wants pre-aligned (typed
/grill-meor "grill me on X").
When NOT to invoke
- Mid-way through a mechanical batch (e.g. grading student N of 20) — pre-align before the batch, not during.
- For obvious, no-ambiguity edits (fix a typo, add one bullet).
- Pure conversational tasks (status, summaries, lookups).
- After the user has already explicitly entered
superpowers:brainstorming— grill-me runs before, not in parallel.
Core loop
One question at a time. Recommend an answer. Pause for the human.
1. Read the artifact (memo draft, stage doc, rubric, template, restructure proposal)
2. Identify the next unresolved decision branch
3. Ask ONE question with:
- The specific decision being made
- A recommended answer (with reasoning)
4. Pause. Wait for the human to confirm / redirect / dig deeper.
5. If a term or convention crystallizes → propose capturing it inline (glossary line, or a decision-memo row)
6. If a hard-to-reverse decision settles → propose a `docs/decisions/` memo inline (hand to /decision-memo)
7. Loop until exit criteria met
Never batch-dump questions. Never advance the tree until the current branch resolves.
Auto-Pushback Pass (MANDATORY before presenting any structural recommendation)
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.

grill-me is a skill published in the GitHub repository adamwstauffer/shidler (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,377 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
