Grill with docs

by Matt Pocock · reviewed by Mike Reams

The same interview, with the answers written down as it goes: terms into a glossary, decisions into decision records.

What you get

A settled plan, plus a glossary and decision records written while the answers are fresh.

When to use it
When a plan introduces terms or decisions that the next person will need to find.
Ask for it like this
“Grill me on this design and write the glossary and the decision records as we go.”
Limits
It creates a file only when there is something to write: no empty glossary, no placeholder records.

What I changed, and why I run it

  • Two skills, one card: grill-with-docs runs the interview and domain-modeling, which keeps the glossary and the records. Text only; I added where terms and records go in my own notes.
  • The closest of the set to architecture work: the interview ends with records, not only with agreement.
  • planning
  • ADR
  • glossary
  • domain model

This card also covers domain-modeling (opens in a new tab), from the same repository at the same commit.
