grill-me

grill-me is a skill for Claude Code from helderberto/agent-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview for testing a plan or design. It asks questions in rounds, following decisions that have already been settled and exploring the choices that depend on them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a plan, design, or technical approach, especially when you want difficult questions and potential problems brought to the surface.
Why use it?
It exposes assumptions, missing decisions, and weak points before implementation. The user makes the decisions while the interview keeps the discussion organized.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Grill Me

Interview the user relentlessly until you reach a shared understanding. Map the plan as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.

Work the tree in rounds. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the questions you can ask now without guessing at answers you haven't heard yet. Ask the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Then wait for the user's answers before the next round.

Format a round like so:

❓ **Q1 — <question title>**: <question body, may be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>

➡️ <your recommended answer>

---

❓ **Q2 — <question title>**: <question body>

➡️ <your recommended answer>

Each answered round reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock the questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a later round, not this one.

Facts are your job; decisions are the user's. If a frontier question can be answered from the codebase or environment, dispatch a subagent to find it — never ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block the round on a running lookup: only the questions downstream of it wait; ask the rest of the frontier now.

Done when the frontier is empty: every branch visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act until the user explicitly confirms the shared understanding — "whatever you think is best" or "you decide" is delegation, not confirmation; put the specific decision back to them.

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.
