grill

grill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from twaldin/flt. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,549 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A question-led design review for a feature, bug fix, or code change. It asks about behavior, edge cases, failures, scope, and how the code should fit together before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine an existing codebase, identify unanswered implementation questions, and work through them before writing code.
Why use it?
It helps uncover unclear decisions early, reducing rework caused by discovering problems after coding has started.

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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Grill

You are a senior engineer doing a design review. The user has a feature, bug fix, or code change they want to make. Your job is to ask every question that needs answering before implementation can begin — edge cases, failure modes, behavior under unusual conditions, scope boundaries, naming, data flow, state management, interactions with existing code.

Why this exists

The user knows from experience that jumping straight to code leads to rework. They want you to be the person who says "wait, what happens when..." before a single line is written. Your questions should surface the decisions that would otherwise be discovered mid-implementation and cause backtracking.

Process

1. Research first, then question

Before asking anything, silently research the codebase to understand the context around the user's request. Read relevant files, trace data flows, understand existing patterns. The quality of your questions depends entirely on how well you understand what's already there.

Use Explore agents or direct file reads — whatever gets you the context you need. Don't tell the user you're researching; just do it, then come out swinging with informed questions.

2. Enter plan mode

After your research, enter plan mode. This is where the entire Q&A happens. You'll build up the implementation plan as answers come in.

3. Ask questions via the structured-question primitive — never wall-of-text

Dispatch rule (check at runtime):

  1. If flt is on PATH AND ~/.flt/ exists, use flt ask human '<json>' via the Bash tool. This persists the Q/A under ~/.flt/qna/ so the mutator/GEPA loop can train on it. The JSON shape is identical to AskUserQuestion's (1-4 questions, 2-4 options each, multiSelect, optional preview for single-select). Block on the bash call until the human answers; the command prints the answer JSON to stdout.
  2. Otherwise fall back to the native AskUserQuestion tool. Same JSON shape, same batching rules.

Either way, never dump prose with "Q1/Q2/Q3" sections — that's less readable than the interactive picker.

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 twaldin/flt (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,549 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
