What it does

Auto Grill is an agent skill from TheOrcDev/skills. Self-driving version of grill-me. Interrogates a plan or design one question at a time, but for each question offers three answers (A/B/C) with one marked Recommended, then answers it itself by taking the recommended option — looping down the decision tree until the plan is fully resolved. Use when the user wants a plan stress-tested and auto-decided, says "auto-grill", "auto-grill this plan", "grill it and decide", or invokes /auto-grill.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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: Skills for True Dev Warriors.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a plan stress-tested and auto-decided
  • Says auto-grill
  • Auto-grill this plan
  • Grill it and decide

Example prompts

  • “auto-grill”
  • “auto-grill this plan”
  • “grill it and decide”
  • “/auto-grill”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pick the next open question — the most important unresolved decision, respecting dependencies (answer what later decisions hang on first).
  2. If the codebase can answer it, explore instead of asking. Use the real answer; never guess what you can look up.
  3. Offer three answers, labelled
  4. Answer it yourself — take the recommended option and record it as the decision.
  5. Continue to the next question, now informed by that decision.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bb7eaa5. 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

Auto Grill loads about 680 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~680

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 345 words (~680 tokens).

“Grill a plan relentlessly — but drive the interview yourself. Walk down each branch of the decision tree one question at a time. For every question, lay out three options and take the recommended one automatically, then move on. The…”
