# Grilling
Interview the user relentlessly until every branch of the **design tree** is resolved. This is the reusable interview primitive. Orchestrators (`interview`, `shape`) invoke it; they own grounding, artifacts, and routing.
## Contract
Inputs:
- A plan, decision, idea, or design question
- Optional repo or docs context already loaded by the calling skill
Outputs:
- Settled decisions across the design tree
- Remaining open questions only when a fact-finding sub-agent is still running
Creates/Modifies:
- None. Calling skills persist briefs, glossaries, or issues.
External Side Effects:
- Read-only lookups to settle facts. No tracker writes, no code edits.
Confirmation Required:
- Before acting on the settled tree. Stop at a shared understanding; do not implement.
Delegates To:
- None. Fact-finding may dispatch a read-only exploration sub-agent.
## Design tree
Map the topic as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.
The **frontier** is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the questions that can be asked *now* without guessing at answers not yet heard.
Work the tree in **rounds**. Ask the whole frontier in one round. Wait for answers before the next round.
## Round format
Number each frontier question. Recommend an answer so the user can accept it in a word.

**Q1 — <question title>**: <question body, including choices when they exist>
Recommended: <recommended answer>
