Grilled a 'password-reset in 2 days' plan against a small stub codebase and it immediately surfaced a real, load-bearing code contradiction — verifyPassword() unconditionally returns true and verifyToken() always resolves to the same fake user — turning a generic checklist review into a concrete account-takeover finding a plain baseline pass missed.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Grill does
Pressure-tests a plan, design, or PRD the user already believes in: maps the decision tree, greps the codebase to resolve what the code can already answer, then walks remaining branches one question at a time using six tactics (glossary conflict, fuzzy-term sharpening, code contradiction, edge-case, assumption audit, pre-mortem). Triggers on 'grill me', 'stress-test this plan', 'poke holes in my design'; explicitly steps aside for still-ambiguous designs (use brainstorm instead).
How to install Grill
git clone https://github.com/Kanevry/session-orchestrator
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Grill
-
/grillAdversarial one-question-at-a-time interrogation of a plan, grounded in the actual codebase.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Stress-test this plan before I start building it, poke holes in it. -
Challenge every assumption in this PRD before we ship the payment flow. -
Interrogate my design for the export feature and find the weak spots.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Grill skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Kanevry/session-orchestrator. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Grill work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Grilled a 'password-reset in 2 days' plan against a small stub codebase and it immediately surfaced a real, load-bearing code contradiction — verifyPassword() unconditionally returns true and verifyToken() always resolves to the same fake user — turning a generic checklist review into a concrete account-takeover finding a plain baseline pass missed.
- What is the Grill SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Grill?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Grill with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
