grilling

grilling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN. It costs 43 tokens per session (472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided questioning process for testing a plan, decision, or idea. It maps dependent choices into a tree and asks only the questions that can be answered at each stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pressure-test a design, plan, or product idea. It helps work through dependencies in rounds until every important decision has been discussed.
Why use it?
It exposes unstated assumptions before work begins and prevents decisions from being made on guesses. It separates facts that can be checked from choices that require the user's answer.

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

grilling 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 19d 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

持续访谈用户,直到达成共同理解。把这件事映射成一棵 design tree:每个 decision 都分支到挂在它下面的那些 decisions。

按 rounds 逐轮处理这棵树。frontier 是那些 prerequisites 已经敲定的 decisions,也就是你现在就可以问、无需猜测还没听到的答案的那些问题。在一轮里问完整条 frontier:给每个问题编号并附上你的推荐答案。然后等用户回答,再进入下一轮。

每一轮的格式如下:

❓ **Q1** - **<问题标题>**:<问题正文,可能有多段,包括多个选项>

➡️ <你的推荐答案>

---

❓ **Q2** - **<问题标题>**:<问题正文,可能有多段,包括多个选项>

➡️ <你的推荐答案>

每一轮用户给出的回答都会重塑这棵树:敲定的 decisions 会把 frontier 向外推,并解锁依赖它们的问题。重新计算 frontier,然后问下一轮。其答案依赖本轮中另一个仍未解决的问题,属于 更晚的 一轮,而不是本轮。

寻找 facts 是你的工作,绝不是用户的。当一个 frontier 问题需要来自 environment(filesystem、tools 等)的 fact 时,派一个 sub-agent 去查,不要问用户任何你自己能查到的东西。不要被它阻塞:一次正在进行的探索是一个尚未敲定的 prerequisite,所以只有它下游的问题才需要等 sub-agent 回报,现在先问 frontier 的其余部分。decisions 属于用户:逐个交给他,并等待。

当 frontier 为空时,会话才算结束:design tree 的每个分支都访问过,没有留下任何被默默假设的东西。在用户确认我们已经达成共同理解之前,不要采取行动。

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.
