 # Grill Me (Interrogation & Stress Testing)
 
-## 📋 Skill Contract
+Stress-tests plans one question at a time, then hands off to `to-spec`.
+
+## USE FOR:
+- Stress-test a vague plan or architecture proposal
+- Find loopholes and undefined boundary conditions pre-build
+- Combat AI sycophancy with adversarial questioning
+- Resolve decision-tree ambiguity before spec generation
+
+## DO NOT USE FOR:
+- Implementing code or writing specs (`to-spec`, `tdd`)
+- Ticket breakdown of an approved spec (`to-tickets`)
+- Casual Q&A needing no adversarial challenge
+
+## Skill Contract
 
 | Component | Specification |
 | :--- | :--- |
-| **Trigger / Input** | User proposes a vague plan, asks to "evaluate architecture", or explicitly says "grill me" / "grill with docs". |
-| **Expected Output** | A single-question-at-a-time interrogation loop that resolves every branch of the plan's decision tree, ending in a documented shared understanding. |
-| **State Mutations** | Updates or generates ADR / `CONTEXT.md`-style docs inline as each blind spot is resolved. |
-| **Enforcement Gate** | **MUST** ask exactly one question at a time (listing multiple questions at once is prohibited); **MUST NOT** exit until all decision-tree branches are resolved and documented, then **MUST** hand off to `fable-mode` or `tdd` via `harness-everything`. |
-
-This skill is designed to combat the AI's "Sycophantic" personality and ensure Documentation as Code.
-Triggered when the user proposes a vague plan, asks to "evaluate architecture", or explicitly inputs "grill me" or "grill with docs".
-
-## 1. Persona: The Relentless Challenger
-When this skill is activated, you are no longer an obedient assistant, but a **strict Senior Architect**.
-Your goal is to find loopholes, undefined boundary conditions, and potential performance bottlenecks in the human's plan, while maintaining strict adherence to existing domain models.
-
-## 2. The Grilling Loop
-- **Environment Discovery `[Discover]`**: First, use `read_file` to scan the core code related to the plan. Also read `CONTEXT.md`, `README.md`, or any ADRs under `docs/adr/`.
-- **Domain Language**: Your grilling MUST be based on the domain model and terminology of the project. If the user uses inconsistent terminology, correct them.
-- **Rule of Single Question**: **You MUST only ask one question at a time**. Listing a long questionnaire with 5 questions is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
-- **Tree Parsing**: Go deep down every branch of the decision tree. Only move to the next blind spot after resolving the current one.
-- **Provide Your Insight**: When asking a question, attach your professional insight.
-- **Real-time Documentation**: Whenever consensus is reached on an architectural blind spot, you MUST immediately update or generate the corresponding Markdown document (e.g., ADR or CONTEXT.md).
-
-## 3. Exit Conditions and Handoff
-- Continue until you and the user reach a **"Shared Understanding with no suspense"**, and all branches of the decision tree are parsed and documented.
-- After finishing, automatically call `harness-everything` to route to subsequent implementation in `fable-mode` (for large plans) or `tdd` (for small features).
+| **Trigger / Input** | Vague plan proposal, "evaluate architecture", or explicit "grill me". |
+| **Expected Output** | Single-question interrogation loop resolving decision-tree branches; handoff to `to-spec` for spec/ADR generation. |
+| **State Mutations** | Updates `CONTEXT.md` glossary inline; delegates document creation to `to-spec`. |
+| **Enforcement Gate** | ONE question at a time; on consensus, invoke `to-spec` to preview & publish spec/ADR docs. |
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. [Discover] Scan plan-related code plus `<workspace>/CONTEXT.md`, `<workspace>/README.md`, ADRs under `<workspace>/docs/adr/`.
+2. Grill strictly using the project's domain model and terminology.
+3. Ask exactly ONE question at a time (questionnaires prohibited); attach your insight; resolve each branch before moving on.
+4. Update `CONTEXT.md` glossary inline as terms resolve.
+5. On consensus, hand off to `<skills-repo-root>/to-spec/SKILL.md` to preview the outline and publish (PRD, CLI/API reference, Schema doc, or ADR).
+6. Route execution: `to-tickets`, `fable-mode`, or `tdd`.

-# ADR Format
-
-ADRs live in `docs/adr/` and use sequential numbering: `0001-slug.md`, `0002-slug.md`, etc.

-{1-3 sentences: what's the context, what did we decide, and why.}

-That's it. An ADR can be a single paragraph. The value is in recording *that* a decision was made and *why* — not in filling out sections.
-
-## Optional sections
-
-Only include these when they add genuine value. Most ADRs won't need them.
-
-- **Status** frontmatter (`proposed | accepted | deprecated | superseded by ADR-NNNN`) — useful when decisions are revisited

-
-Scan `docs/adr/` for the highest existing number and increment by one.
-

-
-All three of these must be true:
-
-1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
-2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will look at the code and wonder "why on earth did they do it this way?"
-3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
-
-If a decision is easy to reverse, skip it — you'll just reverse it. If it's not surprising, nobody will wonder why. If there was no real alternative, there's nothing to record beyond "we did the obvious thing."
-
-### What qualifies
-
-- **Architectural shape.** "We're using a monorepo." "The write model is event-sourced, the read model is projected into Postgres."
-- **Integration patterns between contexts.** "Ordering and Billing communicate via domain events, not synchronous HTTP."
-- **Technology choices that carry lock-in.** Database, message bus, auth provider, deployment target. Not every library — just the ones that would take a quarter to swap out.
-- **Boundary and scope decisions.** "Customer data is owned by the Customer context; other contexts reference it by ID only." The explicit no-s are as valuable as the yes-s.
-- **Deliberate deviations from the obvious path.** "We're using manual SQL instead of an ORM because X." Anything where a reasonable reader would assume the opposite. These stop the next engineer from "fixing" something that was deliberate.
-- **Constraints not visible in the code.** "We can't use AWS because of compliance requirements." "Response times must be under 200ms because of the partner API contract."

-- **Only include terms specific to this project's context.** General programming concepts (timeouts, error types, utility patterns) don't belong even if the project uses them extensively. Before adding a term, ask: is this a concept unique to this context, or a general programming concept? Only the former belongs.
-- **Group terms under subheadings** when natural clusters emerge. If all terms belong to a single cohesive area, a flat list is fine.
-- **Write an example dialogue.** A conversation between a dev and a domain expert that demonstrates how the terms interact naturally and clarifies boundaries between related concepts.

-
-**Single context (most repos):** One `CONTEXT.md` at the repo root.
-
-**Multiple contexts:** A `CONTEXT-MAP.md` at the repo root lists the contexts, where they live, and how they relate to each other:
-
-```md
-# Context Map
-
-## Contexts
-
-- [Ordering](./src/ordering/CONTEXT.md) — receives and tracks customer orders
-- [Billing](./src/billing/CONTEXT.md) — generates invoices and processes payments
-- [Fulfillment](./src/fulfillment/CONTEXT.md) — manages warehouse picking and shipping
-
-## Relationships
-
-- **Ordering → Fulfillment**: Ordering emits `OrderPlaced` events; Fulfillment consumes them to start picking
-- **Fulfillment → Billing**: Fulfillment emits `ShipmentDispatched` events; Billing consumes them to generate invoices
-- **Ordering ↔ Billing**: Shared types for `CustomerId` and `Money`
-```
-
-The skill infers which structure applies:
-
-- If `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists, read it to find contexts
-- If only a root `CONTEXT.md` exists, single context
-- If neither exists, create a root `CONTEXT.md` lazily when the first term is resolved
-
-When multiple contexts exist, infer which one the current topic relates to. If unclear, ask.

 ## 📋 Skill Contract
 
 | Component | Specification |
 | :--- | :--- |
-| **Trigger / Input** | User wants to stress-test a plan against the project's existing domain language and documented decisions (`CONTEXT.md`, ADRs). |
-| **Expected Output** | A one-question-at-a-time interview walking the design tree to resolution; `CONTEXT.md` updated inline as terms resolve; new ADRs created only when a decision is hard-to-reverse, surprising, and a genuine trade-off. |
-| **State Mutations** | Creates/edits `CONTEXT.md` and `docs/adr/*.md` (or the per-context equivalents under a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` layout). |
-| **Enforcement Gate** | `CONTEXT.md` **MUST** stay a pure glossary — no implementation details. An ADR **MUST NOT** be offered unless all three criteria (hard to reverse, surprising without context, real trade-off) hold. |
-
-<what-to-do>
-
-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, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.
-
-If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
-
-</what-to-do>
-
-<supporting-info>
-
-## Domain awareness
-
-During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:
-
-### File structure
-
-Most repos have a single context:
-
-```
-/
-├── CONTEXT.md
-├── docs/
-│   └── adr/
-│       ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
-│       └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
-└── src/
-```
-
-If a `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
-
-```
-/
-├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
-├── docs/
-│   └── adr/                          ← system-wide decisions
-├── src/
-│   ├── ordering/
-│   │   ├── CONTEXT.md
-│   │   └── docs/adr/                 ← context-specific decisions
-│   └── billing/
-│       ├── CONTEXT.md
-│       └── docs/adr/
-```
-
-Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no `CONTEXT.md` exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no `docs/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
-
-## During the session
-
-### Challenge against the glossary
-
-When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"
-
-### Sharpen fuzzy language
-
-When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
-
-### Discuss concrete scenarios
-
-When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
-
-### Cross-reference with code
-
-When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
-
-### Update CONTEXT.md inline
-
-When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
-
-`CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
-
-### Offer ADRs sparingly
-
-Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
-
-1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
-2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
-3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
-
-If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).

+
+## Dynamic storage resolution & file structure
+
+Inspect the workspace and resolve document locations dynamically:
+
+1. **Monorepo / Multi-Context**: If `CONTEXT-MAP.md` exists at the root, follow its context-specific mapping.
+2. **Project Configured / Inferred Location**: Run `node "to-spec/scripts/check-project-docs.js" check` or inspect if `docs/adr/` or `docs/` exists in the workspace.
+3. **Committable fallback**: If no documentation directory exists, use the shared resolver's `docs/adr/`, `docs/domain/`, and `docs/architecture/` paths, creating them lazily. Do not write ADRs under ignored platform homes.
+
+```

+When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
+
+### Discuss concrete scenarios
+
+When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
+
+### Cross-reference with code
+
+When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
+
+### Update CONTEXT.md inline
+
+When a term is resolved, update `CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](../CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
+
+`CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
+
+### Offer ADRs sparingly
+
+Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
+
+1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
+2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
+3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
+
+If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](../ADR-FORMAT.md).
+
+## Handoffs in full
+
+1. **Pre-flight**: If the core proposal is highly vague or its technical robustness (SRE, security, locks, concurrency, fail-safes) is unverified, recommend the user run `grill-me` first. Do not attempt to align a glossary for a broken or unstable design.
+2. **Transition**: Once technical issues are hardened in `grill-me`, transition here to solidify domain terms and record architectural choices.
+3. **Downstream Specification Handoff**: Once alignment is complete and domain terms are updated, hand off to `to-spec/SKILL.md` to present an outline preview and publish the formal specification document or ADR.
+4. **Execution Handoff**: Route to `to-tickets` (for ticket decomposition), `fable-mode` (for macro scaffolding), or `tdd` (for feature implementation) via `harness-everything`.
