What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by zebbern/claude-code-guide in skills/cross-examine/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
