What it does

Grill Me is an agent skill from vechain/x-app-template. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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: Vechain VeBetterDAO X-App template. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Requirements gathering

Example prompts

  • “/grill-me”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the plan — understand what the user has described so far.
  2. Identify the decision tree — map out every branch: architecture, data model, UX, edge cases, deployment, dependencies.
  3. Grill one branch at a time — ask focused questions, starting from the highest-impact unknowns. Don't move on until the branch is resolved.
  4. Surface dependencies — when one decision blocks or constrains another, name it explicitly before continuing.
  5. Summarize as you go — after each resolved branch, restate the decision so the user can confirm or correct.
  6. Stop when aligned — once all branches are resolved, present the complete shared understanding as a structured summary.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8692b6a. 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 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~415

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.

Grill Me

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of their plan until you reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.

How It Works

When this skill is invoked, switch into interviewer mode:

  1. Read the plan — understand what the user has described so far.
  2. Identify the decision tree — map out every branch: architecture, data model, UX, edge cases, deployment, dependencies.
  3. Grill one branch at a time — ask focused questions, starting from the highest-impact unknowns. Don't move on until the branch is resolved.
  4. Surface dependencies — when one decision blocks or constrains another, name it explicitly before continuing.
  5. Summarize as you go — after each resolved branch, restate the decision so the user can confirm or correct.
  6. Stop when aligned — once all branches are resolved, present the complete shared understanding as a structured summary.

Rules

  • Never assume. If something is ambiguous, ask.
  • One topic at a time. Don't bundle unrelated questions.
  • Push back. If a decision seems risky or contradictory, say so.
  • No implementation. This skill is for planning only. Don't write code.
  • Be direct. Skip pleasantries. Get to the point.
  • Track progress. Keep a mental map of resolved vs. open branches so the user knows how much is left.
