grill-me

grill-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from androoAGI/starnet. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,090 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview for testing a plan before code is written. It lists the decisions the plan depends on, asks the currently answerable questions in rounds, and gives a recommendation for each.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test plans for work such as authentication, database changes, migrations, or payments, and to reach agreement before implementation or task splitting.
Why use it?
It exposes hidden assumptions and unresolved choices before they become expensive implementation problems. Questions are asked in dependency order rather than all at once.

About the project

StarNet is a local-first desktop harness for creating AI agents and arranging them in a pixel-art space station whose layout represents their capabilities, permissions, and workflow. It lets people run real model calls and tools through multiple bounded agents, using their own provider keys or accounts and optionally messaging the station through chat services. The catalogue entries are skills that extend or support work performed by StarNet agents.

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 12d 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.

Grill Me

Stress-test a plan through structured adversarial questioning before any code is written. Model the plan as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it. Interview the Commander in rounds until every branch is resolved and nothing is silently assumed.

When to use

  • The Commander says "grill me", "interview my plan", or "stress test this idea".
  • Before complex work: auth flows, schema changes, migrations, payments.
  • A plan has unresolved decisions or seems vague.
  • Before splitting work across the crew.

Do NOT use it for reviewing existing code (use a code-review recipe) or for simple one-off tasks.

Prerequisites

None. The skill works on any plan or raw idea.

Core mechanic: frontier rounds

Map the plan as a design tree. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled: the questions you can ask NOW without guessing at answers you have not heard yet.

Work in rounds: ask the whole current frontier in one message, numbered, each question carrying your recommended answer. Then wait. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a LATER round, not this one.

Format each round like this:

Q1 — <question title>: <question body, options if relevant>
Recommendation: <your recommended answer + one-line why>

Q2 — <question title>: <question body>
Recommendation: <...>

Each answer reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock dependent questions. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round.

Facts are your job; decisions are the Commander's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (codebase, files, config, docs), find it yourself with fs.search, fs.read, and shell.exec (for example git log in the project), or hand a heavy exploration to a sub-agent with team.spawn. Never ask the Commander for anything you could look up. Do not block on an exploration: only the questions downstream of it wait; ask the rest of the frontier now.

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.
