grill-meRun an interactive one-question-at-a-time oral drill for research defence or active-recall study, escalating around weak answers and ending with a study sheet.
Grill Me is an agent skill from flonat/flonat-research. Run an interactive one-question-at-a-time oral drill for research defence or active-recall study, escalating around weak answers and ending with a study sheet. Use when the user asks to be grilled, quizzed, or prepared for a viva, job talk, seminar, or exam. Not for a written critique; use $devils-advocate or a review agent.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Requirements gathering. The repository describes itself as: Shareable Claude Code + Codex infrastructure for PhD researchers — skills, agents, hooks, and rules for academic workflows. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da27600. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrepBash(ls*)Bash(cat*)Bash(grep*)Bash(git log*)WriteAskUserQuestionFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From 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 Me loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,469 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/grill-me/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).You answer, out loud, one grounded question at a time. This skill plays a skeptical examiner and interrogates you — escalating on weak or evasive answers — then hands you a study sheet of what you fumbled, with model answers. Two flavours: defend your own research, or study a class you're learning.
--defend / --study)| Defend | Study | |
|---|---|---|
| Target | Your own paper / model / proof / research idea | A class, subject, textbook chapter, lecture notes you're learning |
| Goal | Rehearse defending your choices under pressure | Test + deepen recall and understanding of the material |
| "Right answer"? | No single right answer — you defend a choice; the examiner probes whether it holds | Yes — there's an objectively correct answer; wrong answers get corrected |
| Default persona | Skeptical-but-fair examiner (viva/referee) | Examiner-Socratic (an examiner who also teaches when you miss) |
| Prep for | Viva · job talk · seminar Q&A · referee/rebuttal armour | Exams · comprehension checks · learning a new field |
Auto-detect: if the target is one of the user's own artifacts (a paper-*/ dir, a proof, an atlas topic he authored) → defend. If it's course material / textbook / lecture notes / a subject he's revising → study. When ambiguous, ask once.
Everything below is shared; mode-specific differences are called out inline.
referee2-reviewer / paper-critic / review-cluster.devils-advocate.review-response / strategic-revision --external.grill-me is the only one where you are the one answering. If you don't want to type answers back and forth, use one of the above.
| Arg | Effect |
|---|---|
[target] | Paper dir / .tex / .pdf, a proof, an atlas topic, course notes / slides / textbook chapter, or a plain subject name. Default: auto-detect paper-*/paper in CWD. |
--defend / --study | Force the mode when auto-detect would guess wrong. |
--reviewer2 | Persona = hostile Reviewer 2 (defend mode). |
--coach | Persona = supportive coach — challenges but scaffolds a hint toward the answer (great for early study). |
--rounds N | Number of primary questions (default 10; follow-ups don't count). |
--focus <dim> | Concentrate on one dimension (see the tables in Phase 1). Default: spread. |
Default run = auto-detected mode, default persona, ~10 questions, all dimensions, drill first then study sheet.
Read the target so questions are specific, not quiz-show generic.
.tex/PDF (or proof/idea). Identify the headline claim, contribution list, load-bearing assumptions, identification/proof spine, positioning vs the nearest rival. Reuse existing review state — don't re-derive it: read reviews/INDEX.md + latest reviews/<scope>/* reports, the project CLAUDE.md risks, and the venue's referee-bait (docs/reference/venue-profiles/<field>.md). A logged referee objection is your sharpest question.If nothing resolves, ask once (the available structured-question mechanism) what to grill on and at what level (e.g. "undergrad final? qualifying exam? seminar?").
Rank a bank across the dimensions for the mode. Each question is grounded in the material, tagged by dimension + difficulty, and paired internally with the model answer + the trap (revealed only in the debrief).
Defend dimensions:
| Dimension | Probing… |
|---|---|
| Motivation / "so what" | Why care? What breaks if you're wrong? |
| Contribution / novelty | What's new vs the nearest rival? One contribution or three? |
| Model / assumptions | Which assumption is load-bearing? What happens when you weaken it? Is it stated? |
| Identification / proofs | Does the design identify the claim? Does each step hold? Counterexample to the general case? |
| Positioning / venue | Why isn't this subsumed by [rival]? Why this venue? |
| Robustness / limits | The most damaging check you didn't run? What would change your mind? |
Study dimensions:
| Dimension | Probing… |
|---|---|
| Recall / definitions | State the definition/result precisely — no hand-waving. |
| Mechanism / "why" | Why is it true? Explain the intuition, not just the statement. |
| Derivation / working | Work the step / solve the problem — show the reasoning. |
| Application / transfer | Apply it to a case you haven't seen; when does it fail? |
| Connections / compare | How does it relate to [other concept]? What's the difference? |
| Misconceptions / traps | The exam trap — the plausible-but-wrong answer, and why it's wrong. |
Seed the hardest slots from Phase 0's real material (logged referee issues in defend mode; known exam traps in study mode) before filling with derived questions.
The drill is turn-by-turn — ask exactly one primary question, then STOP and wait for the answer. Never dump the bank; never answer your own question.
Evaluate each answer silently — does it address the question, is it correct/grounded, or is it a dodge? Then:
Keep a running tally: dimension · verdict (solid / shaky / fumbled / wrong / dodged) · the gap. The defender can say "stop", "skip", "hint", or "move on" anytime.
Never reveal the model answer mid-drill (except a partial hint in coach mode) — recall under pressure is the point. End after --rounds N primaries (default 10) or on "stop".
When the drill ends:
reviews/<scope>/grill-me/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md (defend, scope = paper slug or _project) or notes/grill-me/<subject>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md (study). Read-only w.r.t. the material — grill-me never edits your paper or notes.reviews/INDEX.md already records a real one, or a fake exam trap when the notes state the real one.| Skill / Agent | Relationship |
|---|---|
devils-advocate | Stress-tests arguments in prose; grill-me makes you defend them live |
referee2-reviewer / paper-critic | Written adversarial critique; grill-me seeds its hardest defend-mode questions from their reports |
weakness-scanner | Finds weak points; grill-me turns them into live questions |
review-cluster / pre-submission-report | Run first — their logged open-issues are grill-me's sharpest defend material |
course-reading-list / init-project-course | Course scaffolding; grill-me is the study-mode drill over that material |
docs/reference/venue-profiles/<field>.md | Venue referee-bait to seed positioning/venue questions (defend mode) |

Grill Me is an agent skill from flonat/flonat-research. Run an interactive one-question-at-a-time oral drill for research defence or active-recall study, escalating around weak answers and ending with a study sheet.
Grill Me fits situations like: the user asks to be grilled; prepared for a viva.
Run `npx skills add flonat/flonat-research --skill grill-me -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/grill-me in flonat/flonat-research) into .claude/skills/grill-me in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add flonat/flonat-research --skill grill-me -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/grill-me in flonat/flonat-research) into .agents/skills/grill-me in your project. Codex 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 flonat/flonat-research --skill grill-me -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-me, .gemini/skills/grill-me, .github/skills/grill-me and .opencode/skills/grill-me in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Grill Me is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash(ls*), Bash(cat*), Bash(grep*), Bash(git log*), Write, AskUserQuestion.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. 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. Review the folder before installing.
Grill Me is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
