What it does
The skill starts a local page where the agent asks questions as cards with lettered options and a highlighted recommendation. Answers can come in any order, be deferred, or be discussed in a separate thread. The Send to Agent button ships everything staged as a single turn. At the end the agent writes an exhaustive design document for the topic. Under the hood it is one Node script and one HTML file with no dependencies: the agent changes `state.json` only through `node server.mjs patch`.
Who it is for. Developers and product managers who find a long terminal interview awkward and want to see every question at once and answer out of order.
Good fit when
- Requirements for a big feature are gathered without losing the thread in chat.
- An architecture decision is discussed question by question with the option to reopen.
- You want pros and cons of an option before choosing.
- The goal is a design document, not scraps of chat.
Not a fit when
- The question is short and fits one reply.
- No browser is available on the agent machine.
- You need a ready specification without an interview.
Example request
/grill-with-ui notification model for the mobile appLimitations
Node 20 or newer is required. A local server serves the page and the agent must keep its listener active, otherwise submissions wait for the session to resume. Skill folder paths in the README table were checked in September 2026 and may differ for your agent. Interview data sits in `state.json` and `events.jsonl` beside the skill; clear them manually for confidential projects.
How to disable. Remove the `~/.claude/skills/grill-with-ui` or `~/.agents/skills/grill-with-ui` symlink and stop the local page server.
