grill

grill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from r13v/pi-feature-dev. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,486 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview process for testing an idea, plan, requirement, architecture, or domain model. It challenges assumptions and records decisions as the discussion becomes clearer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to be questioned about a proposal, explore decision branches, research facts, and agree on a well-defined understanding before implementation.
Why use it?
It exposes missing information, unclear terms, dependencies, and unresolved choices before work 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 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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Grill

Interview the user until both sides share an explicit, evidence-backed understanding. Model the topic as a decision tree, research discoverable facts, challenge the domain language, and record settled terminology and durable decisions as they crystallize.

Do not implement the resulting plan or design during or immediately after the grill. Capturing agreed terminology and accepted ADRs is part of the session. The skill ends after reporting the confirmed result; planning or implementation requires a separate user request.

Core distinctions

  • Treat a fact as something discoverable from the environment, artifacts, documentation, or code. Find it yourself.
  • Treat a decision as a choice among viable alternatives. Put it to the user with a recommendation.
  • Treat a prerequisite as a fact or decision that must settle before a downstream question can be answered without guessing.
  • Treat the frontier as every unresolved decision whose prerequisites are settled now.

Never turn a discoverable fact into homework for the user. Never silently turn an unresolved decision into an assumption.

Resolve bundled resources

Before invoking a read for any relative reference in this skill, resolve it against the directory containing the selected grill/SKILL.md. Use that resolved path for the read. Never use the global skills directory, the current working directory, or the repository root as the base.

Workflow

1. Establish the subject

Restate the outcome being explored, the requested deliverable, and any explicit constraints. Mark interpretations as provisional until the user confirms them.

Build a mental decision tree rooted in that outcome. Add only branches that can materially change the result, such as:

  • scope and non-goals
  • actors, responsibilities, and boundaries
  • domain terms and invariants
  • lifecycle, states, and failure behavior
  • data ownership and integration points
  • usability, security, performance, or operational constraints
  • trade-offs, validation, rollout, and reversibility

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

grill is a skill published in the GitHub repository r13v/pi-feature-dev (2 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,486 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.
