grill-with-docs · akillness — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Conducts an intense review interview on an engineering plan or design, generating ADR records and glossary definitions as decisions are settled.
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill grill-with-docs -a claude-codeWhat grill-with-docs does
The skill initiates an aggressive questioning session to pressure-test plans and technical designs. Instead of passively agreeing with proposals, the assistant probes edge cases and trade-offs. As the conversation progresses, it translates established choices directly into architecture decision records and builds out domain vocabulary files.
Behind the scenes, the workflow bridges deep questioning with domain modeling. The assistant inspects the workspace using tools such as Read, Grep, Glob, and Bash to confirm codebase facts independently instead of pestering the developer.
Control returns to the engineer at designated decision gates. The procedure expects small reversible adjustments. Assumptions must be stated plainly.
What it helps with
- stress-test a proposed technical architecture before writing code
- generate architecture decision records during the review dialog
- capture domain terms in an updated project glossary
- surface hidden design assumptions using codebase inspection
Example prompts for the agent
- Grill this event streaming design and write the ADR.
- Run a thorough critique on the user migration plan and extract glossary terms.
- Grill and document our microservice auth workflow.
