seed: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/grill-me/SKILL.md

grill-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seed-hypermedia/seed. It costs 49 tokens per session (160 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cross-examine, Apache-2.0.

An interviewing method for examining a plan or design through a series of focused questions. It resolves one decision at a time and uses the codebase when it can answer a question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test a feature plan or design, compare decision branches, and reach shared understanding before coding.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements, assumptions, and unresolved choices before implementation begins.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is seed-hypermedia/seed's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on seed itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything seed configures →

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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to cross-examine — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Ask 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.

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

We need to be at least 95% confident in the plan before we can call it good. If we can't get there, keep asking questions until we can.

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.
