New Agent Skill Forces AI to Ask Questions First
Stefania_druga · x · 2026-07-11
This repost introduces an agent skill called grill-for-unknowns, combining @mattpocockuk's "grill me" concept with Thariq's "Finding Your Unknowns" article.
The core idea is to have the agent ask questions and expose unknowns before jumping into implementation, ensuring early alignment on task understanding. The author notes this is particularly effective for models that execute reliably, provided the context is fully aligned.
