# Grill Me

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of their plan until reaching shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. For each question, provide a recommended answer.

Ask the questions one at a time.

If a question can be answered by searching the Knowledge Base, do that instead of asking.

## Rules

1. **One question per turn.** Never bundle.
2. **Provide a recommended answer with each question.** Defaulting to "what do you think?" is lazy.
3. **Search first.** If the Knowledge Base resolves it, do that before asking. Saves a turn.
4. **Walk the tree depth-first.** Finish a branch before opening another.
5. **Track dependencies.** If decision B depends on decision A, ask A first.

## Workflow

1. The user provides a plan or design.
2. Break it into its decision branches and the open questions with recommended answers.
3. Walk the branches one question at a time, recording each answer.
4. When all branches are resolved, report "shared understanding reached" plus the locked-in decisions.

## Output Pattern

Per question turn:

```
Q[i]/[total]: [question]
Recommended answer: [your call + 1-sentence rationale]
```

Or: "I found [evidence] in the Knowledge Base. Confirm?"
