Records the rejection of #44 (request for a hard cap on grilling questions) so the reasoning isn't lost when the issue is closed and so future similar requests can be deduplicated against it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Hard limits on the number of questions during grilling
|
|
|
|
The `/grill-me` skill (and grilling sessions inside other skills) does not enforce a maximum number of questions. Requests to add a configurable cap or hard ceiling are out of scope.
|
|
|
|
## Why this is out of scope
|
|
|
|
Grilling is intentionally open-ended. The point is to keep digging until each branch of the decision tree is resolved — some plans need three questions, some need fifty. A fixed cap would either cut off useful exploration on hard problems or feel arbitrary on easy ones.
|
|
|
|
If a session feels too long, the right escape hatches already exist:
|
|
|
|
- The user can stop the session at any time and accept the current state of the plan.
|
|
- The user can tell the model to wrap up, summarise, and move on — natural-language steering is the intended control surface, not a numeric limit.
|
|
|
|
Adding a hard cap would also conflate two different failure modes: a model that asks too many questions because the plan is genuinely under-specified (working as intended) vs. a model that asks redundant or low-value questions (a prompt-quality issue, not a quantity issue). The fix for the latter belongs in the skill prompt, not in a counter.
