Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
Ask the questions one at a time.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
grep / Read resolves it, do that first. Saves a turn.scripts/decision_tree_extractor.py to extract branches.scripts/question_generator.py to produce the question list with recommendations.scripts/grill_session_tracker.py --action start.Per question turn:
Q[i]/[total]: [question]
Recommended answer: [your call + 1-sentence rationale]
(Or: I explored the codebase and found [evidence]. Confirm?)See references/companion_tooling.md. Tools: extractor + generator + tracker. Agent: cs-grill-master. Command: /cs:grill-me.
