# Grill Me

Use `/grill-me` after `/research-codebase` when one decision blocks safe progress.

## When to use

- Research is done but ambiguity remains
- A design decision could go either way
- You need the user's input before committing to an approach

## Steps

1. **State** current understanding in 1–2 bullets — show you've done the homework
2. **Ask exactly one question** — the most important one that blocks progress
3. **Include a recommended answer** — your best guess based on evidence
4. **Explain what the answer unlocks** — what you can do once you know

## Rules

- One question at a time. Never batch questions.
- Always include a recommended answer — make it easy to say "yes"
- Stop grilling when enough is known for `/ralplan` or direct implementation
- If the codebase can answer the question, answer it yourself instead of asking
