This skill has meaningful adoption or reputation signals, but still deserves a quick review.

What is Grill Me?

Grill Me is a Claude Code skill by Matt Pocock that stress-tests an idea by interviewing you in rounds. Each round asks every question it can answer now, each with a recommended answer, until no decision is left assumed. You start it with /grill-me; it writes no files and works for code, product or writing decisions. Part of the mattpocock/skills collection.

Why use Grill Me?

Questions come in numbered rounds, each with a recommended answer, so "yes" accepts the suggestion and you only stop where it matters.
Stateless: it needs no repo and writes no files, so it works for product, business and writing decisions too.
Facts it can look up itself (files, tools) go to a sub-agent; only decisions come back to you.

Limitations

Manual only: it runs when you type /grill-me, and it calls a separate grilling skill, so install both or the whole collection.
Its author warns about passivity: answering "agreed" to every question gives you a plan you never really decided.
Some questions can't be settled by talking (how a screen should feel); for those the docs suggest building a quick prototype.
