## When to reach for it
Type `/grilling`, or the agent reaches for it on its own when a task fits. It is the only skill in the grilling family that is model-invoked, which is why you rarely type it: usually a skill you *did* type is running it for you.
Type `/grilling`, or the [agent](https://www.aihero.dev/ai-coding-dictionary/agent) reaches for it on its own when a task fits.

Typing `/grilling` directly gets you the plain interview and nothing else. Where you want something more than that:
| What you have | Reach for |
| --- | --- |
| You aren't working in a working directory | [grill-me](https://aihero.dev/skills-grill-me) — the same session, under a name the agent will never fire by itself |

Inside a round every question arrives in a fixed shape: numbered and titled behind a `❓`, then the body, then the agent's recommended answer alone on a `➡️` line. That is what makes a round answerable by number — "1 yes, 2 the second option, 3 no, here's why" — instead of by quoting questions back. The format has one known rough edge: the recommendation sometimes argues *against* the question as it was worded, so agreeing with the recommendation means answering "no" to the question. When that happens, answer the recommendation and say so.
The other half of the design is the split between facts and decisions. Facts are the skill's own job: when a frontier question needs something the environment can settle, it dispatches a sub-agent to go and find out rather than asking you. It does not block on that — only the questions downstream of a running exploration wait. Decisions are yours, and it must wait for them. An agent running `grilling` that answers its own decisions has broken the skill, not interpreted it liberally. The session ends when the frontier is empty, and it will not act on what you agreed until you confirm you have reached a shared understanding.

The honest limit: the frontier is the agent's judgement, not a computed graph. It can put two questions in one round and only afterwards discover that one answer should have changed the other. There is no guard against that beyond telling it, which reopens the affected branch in the next round.

This is the most common objection to the round design, and the frontier is the answer to it: a round only ever contains questions that do not depend on each other, so no answer in a round can invalidate another question in that round. Answers still reshape everything downstream — the next round is recomputed, not pre-written. What you lose is smaller than "all questions at once" implies, and larger than nothing: see the frontier's limit above.
**It ran out of questions and started building.**
A confirmation gate exists precisely for this: the skill is not finished when the frontier empties, it is finished when you say the understanding is shared. Weaker and faster models still break it — this is reported most often on lower-effort or non-frontier models, which collapse "interview until shared understanding" into a couple of questions and an outline. If yours does it, the reliable fix is a line in your own `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` telling the agent not to implement without permission.

**It answered its own questions instead of asking me.**
That is a bug in the run, not the intended behaviour, and it was the reason facts and decisions were separated in the skill's text. It shows up most when another skill runs `grilling` inside a resolve-this-ticket frame, where the surrounding task reads as licence to keep moving. The same constraint is why there is no async mode: people have asked for a variant that reads a GitHub issue and posts one consolidated decision memo, and that is a different skill, because a grilling session that nobody answers has produced the agent's opinion rather than yours.

`grill-me` is a one-line skill whose whole body is "run a `/grilling` session", so it needs this skill installed too. The same is true of `grill-with-docs`, which additionally needs [domain-modeling](https://aihero.dev/skills-domain-modeling). Installing the whole set avoids the problem; installing selectively means installing the primitives as well.
**`grill-with-docs` ran, but it never loaded `grilling`.**
A real and unfixed rough edge, reported across harnesses and models: a skill that names another skill does not reliably cause that skill to load, and `grill-with-docs` names two. The tell is a session that asks everything at once with no recommendations attached — that is the model improvising an interview rather than running this one. Asking the agent directly whether it loaded `grilling` and `domain-modeling` usually recovers it.
