What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by stevesolun/ctx in .agents/skills/grilling/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

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

Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing. Asking multiple questions at once is bewildering.

If a fact can be found by exploring the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), look it up rather than asking me. The decisions, though, are mine — put each one to me and wait for my answer.

Do not act on it until I confirm we have reached a shared understanding.
