This change makes /grill-me SO MUCH BETTER

YouTube Shorts · YouTube

  • Ships a batch-based question system for /grill-me: instead of asking questions one at a time, the skill now asks them in rounds.
  • Motivation: reduces wait times and context switching for the user while still handling dependencies between questions.
  • Directly resolves the tradeoff Matt was weighing days earlier in “I’m thinking about changing my most popular skill” — this is the shipped redesign of Claude Code’s most-used interviewing skill.
  • Takeaway: sequential one-question-at-a-time interviewing has a real UX cost; batching preserves dependency handling while cutting round trips.
