Command definition
loki-grill.mddescription: Interrogate a spec with Loki's Devil's-Advocate grill before building, and summarize the hardest questions it surfaces.
argument-hint: "[spec-path] (default: prd.md / .loki/generated-prd.md)"
allowed-tools: Bash(loki grill:*), Read
Harden a spec before any code is written. Loki's grill invokes the provider once with a Devil's-Advocate prompt to surface the 10-15 hardest questions that expose ambiguities, missing acceptance criteria, unstated assumptions, and security/scale blind spots. A grilled spec is a better Reason input to the RARV-C loop.
Steps:
1. Run the interrogation on the spec ($ARGUMENTS, or the default resolution prd.md / .loki/generated-prd.md if empty):
loki grill $ARGUMENTS
It writes `.loki/grill/report.md`. It requires a provider CLI and fails cleanly (exit 3) when none is available: it never fabricates questions.
2. Read `.loki/grill/report.md` and present the findings to the user grouped by category:
- Ambiguities and missing acceptance criteria
- Unstated assumptions
- Security blind spots
- Scale and reliability blind spots
3. For each hard question, suggest a concrete way to resolve it in the spec (a precise acceptance criterion, an explicit assumption made explicit, a security control, a stated limit). Do not silently answer them yourself; the point is to harden the human's intent.
4. If the user wants the questions embedded in the spec for the record, offer:
loki grill --apply $ARGUMENTS
which appends a "Grill findings" section to the spec file. Ask before modifying the spec.
Report only what the grill produced. If the provider was unavailable, say so plainly and do not invent questions.
