aa-grill

aa-grill is a skill for Claude Code from Peeyushmeher/agent-agile. It costs 45 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided questioning skill for turning a rough product idea into a clearly defined plan. It records the result in a planning file or recommends not building the idea.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an idea is vague and needs structured questioning about its users, value, and evidence before planning or implementation.
Why use it?
It exposes missing users, reasons to switch, and measurable outcomes before development begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

aa-grill 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 11d 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 — 28 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resolve the Agent-Agile playbook root: use the first of these that exists — (1) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/playbooks, (2) ./.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (3) ./.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (4) ~/.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (5) ~/.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (6) ./playbooks.

Read playbooks/planner.md section The Grill in full, including the Grill → intake mapping table inside it, and follow it exactly — do NOT re-derive or improvise the system. The interrogation script, its handling rules, and the valid "recommend not building it" outcome are all defined there; use them as written.

How this skill runs

This is a live conversation, not a subagent job — it runs in the main loop. Ask the seven grill questions from the playbook one at a time, in order. Never dump the list at once. Apply the playbook's handling rules on every answer: a vague answer gets narrowed into a forced choice built from the answer's own words before moving on; "everyone" and "it'd be cool" are rejected outright per the playbook.

If the idea fails its own questions — no real user, no real switch reason, no number that would move — say so plainly, name which questions it failed, and recommend against building it. Stop there; do not write IDEA.md for an idea you've just recommended against.

Closing the grill

Once all seven questions produce real answers:

  1. Write .planning/IDEA.md from the template at playbooks/templates/IDEA.md, filling Problem, Exact user, The one action, Why now / why switch, Non-goals, and Success signal from the grill answers. Once written, IDEA.md is locked — do not reinterpret it later.
  2. Update .planning/STATE.md from the template at playbooks/templates/STATE.md: set Project to a short working name for the idea (confirm it with the user in one breath before writing it), Phase to grill, Now to "grill complete, IDEA.md locked", Next to "run /aa-new-project", Pointers to .planning/IDEA.md, and Blockers to none.
  3. Tell the user the grill is done and offer /aa-new-project as the next step. State, using the Grill → intake mapping table, exactly which of the 8 intake questions are already pre-filled from this conversation and which three (hard constraints, riskiest unknown, review-batch appetite) will still be asked fresh.

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.
