grill-me

grill-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from memorysaver/dotfiles. It costs 49 tokens per session (306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview-style tool for testing a plan or design through a sequence of focused questions. It continues until the main decisions, dependencies, risks, and next steps are clear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a project plan, system design, or proposed approach one decision at a time.
Why use it?
It exposes unclear assumptions and unresolved trade-offs before implementation begins.

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 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.

What it actually says

Grill Me

Interview the user relentlessly about their plan until there is shared understanding.

Workflow

Ask one question at a time. Walk down each branch of the design tree and resolve dependencies between decisions one by one.

For each question, include the recommended answer so the user can react to a concrete position instead of starting from a blank page.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, inspect the codebase instead of asking the user.

Question Style

Keep questions specific, consequential, and grounded in the user's stated goal. Prefer questions that expose tradeoffs, hidden assumptions, missing constraints, failure modes, sequencing risks, or ownership boundaries.

When the user answers, summarize the decision in one sentence, then move to the next unresolved branch.

Stop when the major branches are resolved, the remaining unknowns are explicit, and there is a clear next action.

Changes

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.
