Grill With Docs is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Docs-anchored grilling session — challenges a plan against the project's existing language (CONTEXT.md) and recorded decisions (docs/adr/), and updates those files inline as terminology and decisions crystallise. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan against documented domain language, or mentions "grill with docs".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `ADR-FORMAT.md`, `CONTEXT-FORMAT.md` and `references/adr_practice.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records, Requirements gathering and Load testing. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Grill With Docs loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 742 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

<what-to-do>
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, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
</what-to-do>
<supporting-info>
During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:
Most repos have a single context:
/
├── CONTEXT.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/
│ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/If a CONTEXT-MAP.md exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
/
├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
├── src/
│ ├── ordering/
│ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
│ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
│ └── billing/
│ ├── CONTEXT.md
│ └── docs/adr/Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no CONTEXT.md exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no docs/adr/ exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in CONTEXT.md, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"
When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
When a term is resolved, update CONTEXT.md right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in CONTEXT-FORMAT.md.
CONTEXT.md should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat CONTEXT.md as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in ADR-FORMAT.md.
</supporting-info>
The additions below are not part of Matt's upstream skill. They operationalize the upstream's rules into deterministic, stdlib-only validators that pair naturally with the interview loop.
Pre-flight (before the first question):
scripts/context_md_linter.py CONTEXT.md if a CONTEXT.md exists — confirms the glossary is well-formed before grilling against it.scripts/adr_scanner.py docs/adr/ if docs/adr/ exists — surfaces numbering gaps, malformed ADRs, status-frontmatter inconsistencies.scripts/glossary_code_consistency.py --context CONTEXT.md --code src/ — flags defined-but-unused terms (dead glossary) and code-only common nouns that may need definitions. Use these flags as opening grill questions.During the session (Matt's rules apply):
CONTEXT.md immediately; re-run context_md_linter.py if the edit is structural.docs/adr/; re-run adr_scanner.py to confirm numbering.Closing:
glossary_code_consistency.py run to confirm no new orphan terms were introduced.| Tool | One-line role |
|---|---|
scripts/context_md_linter.py | Validate CONTEXT.md against the CONTEXT-FORMAT.md structure. PASS/WARN/FAIL per rule. |
scripts/adr_scanner.py | Walk docs/adr/, check NNNN-slug.md pattern, numbering integrity, body completeness. |

Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill grill-with-docs -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (engineering/grill-with-docs/skills/grill-with-docs in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/grill-with-docs in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill grill-with-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/grill-with-docs, .gemini/skills/grill-with-docs, .github/skills/grill-with-docs and .opencode/skills/grill-with-docs in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Grill With Docs needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Grill With Docs is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
