What it does

Grill Me is an agent skill from PinelliaChill/Operant. Clarify a plan or design through focused questions and a final decision record.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 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: Operant Beta:以多模型分工、按需通信、分层审批和经验复用为核心设计,在本机组织可追溯的 Agent 协作,并通过模块化架构扩展能力。

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Requirements gathering

Example prompts

  • “/grill-me”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 939e3cc. 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

    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.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 159 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 78 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~159

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 78 words (~159 tokens).

“When explicitly invoked, ask one focused question at a time about the user's goal, constraints, risky assumptions, evidence, and success criteria. Challenge unclear answers with a concrete counterexample. Keep a short decision record in the conversation: confirmed facts, open choices…”
