solo-grill

solo-grill is a skill for Claude Code from fortunto2/solo-factory. It costs 99 tokens per session (656 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview that asks one question at a time to test a plan, design, or decision. It looks for weak assumptions and unanswered questions before work begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test an idea, challenge a design, find holes in a plan, or examine an important decision before implementation.
Why use it?
It exposes gaps while changes are still inexpensive. This helps prevent building on a plan that has not been examined closely.

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

solo-grill 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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/grill — the interview primitive

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of the thing until you reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. For each question, give your own recommended answer.

Ask one question at a time, waiting for the answer before the next. A batch of questions is bewildering and destroys the dependency order that makes the interview converge.

Look up facts; ask for decisions. If something can be settled by exploring the environment — filesystem, git history, the codebase, the web — go and settle it. The decisions are the user's: put each one to them and wait.

Do not act on the plan until the user confirms the shared understanding is reached.

Why one at a time

The mental model is a decision tree. An early answer reshapes which questions come next — a firehose of parallel questions throws away that structure and produces answers to questions that turned out not to matter.

Composing

This is a primitive, not a workflow. Reach for it from inside other work whenever a plan needs sharpening:

  • Before /plan — when the feature is still fuzzy. /plan deliberately asks zero questions and researches code instead, so grill first when the decisions, not the code, are what's missing.
  • Before /validate — when the idea itself hasn't been pinned down enough to score.
  • Inside /stream — when a STREAM layer needs the user's judgement rather than analysis.
  • After /diagnose Phase 3 — to pressure-test which hypothesis to chase.

Gotchas

  • Recommendations are the point. A bare question makes the user do all the work; a question with your recommended answer lets them correct a draft, which is far faster.
  • Asking what you could look up burns trust. Check the repo, the config, the git log first.

Don't

  • Batch questions "to save time" — it costs more.
  • Start building the moment the user answers the last question; confirm the shared understanding first.

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.

solo-grill is a skill published in the GitHub repository fortunto2/solo-factory (18 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 656 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
