## When to Use

Use when this workflow matches the user request: A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.


_Source: [mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (MIT)._

Use the installed `grilling` procedure to ask one meaningful question at a time. Inspect existing ADR/glossary conventions first. Record only confirmed answers in authorized project docs, mark open proposals as Proposed, preserve conflicting alternatives and review the resulting diff. Use `domain-modeling` only if installed and relevant; do not invent a slash-command dependency.

## Example

**User request:**

> Use @grill-with-docs for this task: A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.

## Limitations

- Requires the upstream tool, account, API key, or local setup when the workflow names one.
- Does not authorize destructive, production, paid, or external-message actions without explicit user approval.
- Validate generated artifacts or recommendations against the user's real sources before treating them as final.
