What does grill-with-docs do?
grill-with-docs is a Claude skill that runs two other skills from the same collection, grilling and domain-modeling, one after the other. Its own file holds a single instruction to load those two, so the detail lives in them, not here. Going by its description, the result is a tough interview about your plan or design that also writes documentation as you go: architecture decision records, known as ADRs, and a glossary of terms. It is set to run only when you call it yourself, so Claude will not start it on its own. Both companion skills must be installed for it to work.
When should you use grill-with-docs?
Use it when
- Stress-testing a feature plan before writing code
- Pinning down domain terms for a new project
- Recording design decisions as ADRs
Skip it when
- You do not have the grilling and domain-modeling skills
- You need code written now, not questions
