Force an AI to grill you on your plan before any code gets written.
Instead of accepting vague hand-waves or skipping over hard design decisions, the agent walks you through every branch of the design tree, one dependency at a time, until there’s nothing left to hand-wave about.
This is the opposite of “just build it.”
Use it when you have a plan that feels solid in your head but hasn’t been stress-tested.
The questioning will find the gaps you glossed over and the assumptions you didn’t realize you were making.

Prompt
Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
