What does grill-me do?
grill-me is a Claude skill that starts a relentless interview meant to sharpen a plan or a design. The file itself holds a single instruction: it tells Claude to call another skill named grilling, so the actual questions and method live in that skill, not here. It is set so Claude will not start it on its own; you run it by name when you want your plan tested. It comes from Matt Pocock's collection, which he describes as skills taken from his own agents directory. Install it together with grilling, or it has nothing to hand off to.
