sw-grill-me

sw-grill-me is a skill for Claude Code from anton-abyzov/specweave. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,163 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of grill-me, MIT.

A structured interview process for settling the unresolved decisions in a software plan before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a request or change is unclear and needs detailed decisions about behavior, edge cases, dependencies, migration, and how the result will be checked.
Why use it?
It exposes hidden assumptions about scope, users, data, integrations, failures, security, performance, rollout, and verification instead of leaving the agent to guess.

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

sw-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 4d 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.

sw-grill-me: settle every decision before building

No one knows exactly what they want. The gap between the user and the agent is where wrong builds come from, and a model never closes it alone: it fills the gaps with guesses. This skill walks the plan's decision tree with the user until nothing is left silently assumed. Use it at a project's start, before a change whose shape is unclear, or whenever the user asks to be grilled. A clear, small request does not need it.

How it runs

  1. Read first. The code the plan touches, .specweave/config.json, the open increment's spec.md (specweave task list) and GLOSSARY.md if it exists. Draft the problem, the scope and the approach yourself.
  2. Map the tree. List every open decision and what it depends on. Probe the things users forget: scope and non-goals; users and flows; the data and the words for it; integrations, installs, accounts and keys; failures and edge cases; security and privacy; performance and scale; rollout and migration; how a machine will check that it works.
  3. Facts are yours. Anything the code, docs, config or a quick command can answer, look up (in a subagent if your tool has them). Never ask the user what you could find. A lookup still running blocks only the questions that depend on it.
  4. Ask in rounds. Each round asks the whole frontier: every decision whose prerequisites are already settled. Number the questions; give each one clause on why it matters and your recommended answer, worded so "yes" accepts it. A question that depends on another one in the same round waits for the next round.
  5. Recompute after every answer: settled decisions unlock new ones, and some answers make others moot. Then ask the next round.
  6. Stop when the frontier is empty and the user confirms you share one picture. "Enough" or "your call" stops early: every decision left gets your recommendation as a stated default.

Plain text, one round per message:

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.
