What it does
Foreman Grill Docs is an agent skill from VisionForge-OU/foreman. Headless grilling pass that challenges an approved implementation plan against the existing codebase and domain model, then writes an ADR draft and a PRD draft into the Foreman feature directory. Self-answers every question it can from the code/docs and surfaces the rest as an "Open questions for reviewer" block instead of interviewing a live user.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `ADR-FORMAT.md` and `CONTEXT-FORMAT.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Architecture decision records, PRD writing and Planning. The repository describes itself as: A Boris-style agentic orchestrator TUI that supervises headless Claude Code agents through a gated software-delivery pipeline — pointed at any repository.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
- Tasks that involve PRD writing
- Tasks that involve Planning
Example prompts
- “Open questions for reviewer”
- “/foreman-grill-docs”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Explore before you challenge
- Grill across every dimension
- Update the target repo's living docs inline
- Write the two Foreman drafts
- On a revision pass
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92d7f79. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Foreman Grill Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 824 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 824 words (~1,563 tokens).
“You are running headless, with no live human in the loop. Your job is to grill the approved implementation plan as hard as a senior engineer would in a live design review — but instead of asking the human questions…”
