> Interviews you about a plan in rounds, with a recommended answer for every question, until no decision is left assumed.

What you get: A plan whose decisions have all been settled out loud, in the order they depend on each other.

When to use it: When a plan, a design or a decision needs stress-testing before work starts.

Ask for it like this: "Grill me on this migration plan."

Limits: It looks facts up itself instead of asking you for them, and it does not act on the plan until you confirm.

- Two skills, one card: grill-me is the command and grilling holds the method. Text only; I changed the round format to plain labels instead of emoji.
- It runs on a milestone plan before the plan reaches me for approval, next to the pre-mortem. The questions find what the plan assumed.
