name: grill-me description: Use when Forces Claude to grill you on technical and product requirements before writing any code, surfacing unresolved questions upfront instead of guessing.

Grill Me

Originally created by TypeScript educator Matt Pocock and adopted here, Grill Me makes Claude interrogate the request before building anything — asking about technical requirements, product requirements, and any open questions it has. This prevents Claude from making silent assumptions that surface as rework later. The creator uses it in conjunction with Phased Plan for any feature expected to take multiple milestones, skipping it only for small bug fixes.

What you get

• Pre-build requirement interrogation, surfaced unresolved questions before coding starts, reduced silent assumption errors, pairs directly with Phased Plan for larger features.

Customize your output

• Adjust how aggressively it grills (some find it "too intense" on simple asks) — can be dialed back for smaller tasks.

Example output

Before building an AI UGC content feature, Grill Me surfaced 8 unresolved questions about data model and user permissions before any code was written.

Best for

Solo developers and technical founders who want to catch ambiguous requirements before implementation instead of during code review.
