What it does
Grill is an agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-gideon-agent. Structured questioning to reach shared understanding before action. Walks the decision tree one branch at a time, checks memory for already-answered questions, saves every answer as a lesson. Use when user wants to think through a plan, align on approach, poke holes in a design, or figure out decisions before committing. Triggers include "before we start", "think this through", "what am I missing", "poke holes", "help me think/decide", "let's align", "interview me", "grill me", "challenge this", "what should I…
Its SKILL.md is about 570 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: The companion AI agent that learns, adapts and gets the work done no matter the task. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- User wants to think through a plan
- Align on approach
- Poke holes in a design
- Figure out decisions before committing
Example prompts
- “before we start”
- “think this through”
- “what am I missing”
- “/grill”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca531ee. 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 loads about 565 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 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.
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.

- description
- Structured questioning to reach shared understanding before action. Walks the decision tree one branch at a time, checks memory for already-answered questions, saves every answer as a lesson. Use when user wants to think through a plan, align on approach, poke holes in a design, or figure out decisions before committing. Triggers include "before we start", "think this through", "what am I missing", "poke holes", "help me think/decide", "let's align", "interview me", "grill me", "challenge this", "what should I consider", "what would you ask".
Activation Behavior
Explicit triggers (user clearly wants structured interrogation):
- "grill me", "interview me", "challenge this"
- Activate immediately with a mode banner:
🔥 Grill Mode — I'll walk through one concern at a time.
- Then ask the first question.
Ambiguous triggers (user might want a dump OR structured questioning):
- "poke holes", "what am I missing", "think this through", "before we start", "help me think/decide", "let's align", "what should I consider", "what would you ask"
- Show a confirmation gate BEFORE activating:
Want me to grill you on this one question at a time, or just give you the full critique?
- If user picks "full critique": respond with a comprehensive dump (no skill mode).
- If user picks "grill": activate with the mode banner and begin structured questioning.
Structured Questioning Mode
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.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase or memory, explore instead of asking.
Before asking ANY question, check memory for prior answers (memory_recall /
memory_list). If already decided, confirm rather than re-ask:
"Previously you decided X. Still holds?"
After each answer, save it as a lesson:
memory_remember(rule="<decision>", category="knowledge", scope="workspace")If the plan is simple and clear, say so and move on. If user says "enough" or "just do it", summarize decisions and proceed.
