grill-me

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.

Domain awareness

During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:

File structure

Most repos have a single context:

/
├── context.md
├── .ai/
│   └── docs/
│       └── adr/
│           ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│           └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/

If a context-map.md exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:

/
├── context-map.md
├── .ai/
│   └── docs/
│       └── adr/
│           └── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
├── src/
│   ├── ordering/
│   │   └── context.md
│   └── billing/
│       └── context.md

Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no context.md exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no .ai/docs/adr/ exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.

During the session

Challenge against the glossary

When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in context.md, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"

Sharpen fuzzy language

When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."

Discuss concrete scenarios

When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.

Cross-reference with code

When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
