grill-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from open-gsd/gsd-pi. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,185 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-question-at-a-time interview for examining a plan or design, including its assumptions, failure cases, and unresolved choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test plans, interrogate designs, resolve decision branches, and clarify choices that affect later work.
Why use it?
It exposes vague requirements and hidden dependencies before they cause problems during implementation.

About the project

GSD Pi is a command-line coding agent and project workflow system that plans, implements, verifies, and tracks software work through milestones, tasks, Git worktrees, and stored project notes. It is for developers who want structured, longer-running agent sessions using different model providers. The catalogue entries extend GSD Pi with skills and agents.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill when:

  • The user asks to be grilled, stress-tested, or interrogated
  • A plan reads like a list of happy paths with no failure modes
  • Two or more sections of a plan implicitly depend on one undecided choice
  • The user says "I think" or "probably" about something that will bind the design

<core_principle> ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. Parallel questions destroy dependency order — the answer to Q2 is often contingent on the answer to Q1, and asking both at once forces the user to reason about a combinatoric space instead of a single fork. Ask, wait, absorb, ask the next.

RECOMMEND AN ANSWER. Every question ships with your recommendation and a one-line reason. The user's job is to confirm, override, or redirect — not to generate answers from scratch.

CODEBASE BEFORE QUESTION. If the answer exists in the repo — a convention, an existing pattern, a prior decision — find it and cite it rather than asking. </core_principle>

Step 1: Map the decision tree silently

Before asking anything, read what the user has already said in this conversation plus any existing M###-CONTEXT.md, S##-CONTEXT.md, and .gsd/DECISIONS.md. Build a private list of every decision the plan depends on, in dependency order. Do not show this list — it is scaffolding.

If the plan touches unfamiliar code, spawn Agent(subagent_type=Explore) in parallel to map the relevant modules while you prepare Question 1. Do not wait for it to finish before starting the interview.

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.
