Grill Me Skill Installation and Usage Guide
Grill Me is not about asking random extra questions. It exposes vague goals, hidden constraints, edge cases, and acceptance criteria before any code is written.
Archive note
This guide is grounded in EasyGlobe’s saved Grill Me Markdown and original repository notes. Installation paths and compatibility depend on your agent platform and the original README.

Grill Me Skill FAQ
Concise setup, trigger, and workflow guidance.
It interviews you about goals, users, constraints, edge cases, and success criteria before code is written, continuing until both sides have enough shared understanding to plan or implement.
Open the skill detail page to download the local Markdown copy or open the original repository, then place the folder containing SKILL.md in the skills directory required by your agent platform. Paths and reload behavior vary, so follow the platform documentation and original README.
Say “grill me” before implementation and provide the current goal, available context, and non-negotiable constraints. The workflow should ask questions before it starts writing code.
A tiny, reversible, and fully specified change usually does not need a long interview. Grill Me is more valuable for product direction, data models, permissions, security, or irreversible releases.
