What it does

Grill Me is an agent skill from kipperacademy/skillpper. Interview the user to clarify requirements, architecture, design, and business rules before implementation. Use the host's available interactive question interface and ask in rounds sized to its limits. Works across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Use when the user asks to grill an idea, plan a major feature, or invokes /grill-me.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/interactive-interview.md` and `skill-review.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Requirements gathering. It works with Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Practical skills for developers and their AI coding agents 🤓.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to grill an idea
  • Plan a major feature
  • Invokes /grill-me

Example prompts

  • “/grill-me”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Zero Raw Text in Chat
  2. Interview in Bounded Rounds
  3. Option Formatting
  4. Transition to Execution

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 163871c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Grill Me loads about 962 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~962
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 437 words (~962 tokens).

“A technical alignment skill designed to drill down into requirements, architecture, and business rules before code implementation begins.”
