grill-me

grill-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sjarmak/coding-agent-workflows. It costs 43 tokens per session (289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview for resolving unclear choices in a software plan or design before coding starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work through an ambiguous or complex specification by answering one recommended design question at a time.
Why use it?
It exposes missing decisions and dependencies so implementation does not begin with unresolved alternatives.

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 every aspect of this plan until you reach shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. The goal is a spec with no unresolved forks, not a polite conversation.

  • Ask one question at a time. A wall of questions gets a wall of shallow answers; a single sharp question gets a real decision.
  • Recommend an answer with every question. Never ask open-endedly — state the choice you'd make and why, so the user is reacting to a proposal, not starting from a blank page.
  • Prefer the codebase over the user. If a question can be answered by reading the code, read the code instead of asking. Reserve the user's attention for the decisions only they can make (intent, priorities, tradeoffs).
  • Follow dependencies in order. Resolve the decision that unblocks the most downstream questions first; don't ask about leaves before the trunk is settled.

Stop when every branch that affects the implementation has a decision behind it.

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.
