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.

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 | $0.00073 | $0.00642 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00321 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00128 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00064 |
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 3d 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Grill me — relentless planning interview
Interview the user about every aspect of the plan until you reach a shared,
unambiguous understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving
dependencies between decisions one at a time. The goal is to surface hidden
assumptions and edge cases before they get encoded in code or written into
.issueflows/01-current-issues/issue<N>_plan.md.
When to use
- The user asks to be grilled / stress-tested ("grill me", "poke holes in this").
- During
/iflow-plan, when grilling is active (see Activation below), to pressure-test the approach before the plan file is drafted.
How to grill
- One question at a time. Never batch questions. Wait for the answer before moving to the next branch.
- Always recommend an answer. For each question, give your recommended option and a one-line rationale, so the user can accept quickly or push back.
- Explore before asking. If a question can be answered by reading the code,
the issue text, or
.issueflows/04-designs-and-guides/, explore first and confirm what you found instead of asking the user to do your homework. - Follow the decision tree. Resolve upstream decisions before the ones that depend on them; let earlier answers prune later branches.
- Stay on scope. Grill the issue at hand. Park genuinely separate concerns as follow-up notes rather than expanding the interview indefinitely.
- Know when to stop. End when every open branch is resolved (or explicitly deferred) and you can restate the plan without ambiguity. Summarize the agreed decisions so they can flow straight into the plan.
Activation
This skill is dormant by default: it engages only when the user asks for it ("grill me") or when a project turns it on for planning.
Turn it off again for the rest of a session with "stop grilling" or
"normal mode". (To make grilling on by default during planning for this
project, set grill_me_default = true under [issueflow] in
.issueflows/config.toml and re-run issue-flow update.)
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 jepegit/issue-flow (4 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 642 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
