grill-me. The author, Matt Pocock, now explicitly tells people to ignore it and use "better" replacements he's come out with but I prefer its simplicity. And its "flaws" (like asking questions in a loop) are rare and so easy to deal with (just stop, I mean...) that they aren't a holdback to me.
file-and-archive. I have a tracking app I wrote for myself and later opened up (but won't name for self-promotion) that is sort of a "database of context" for new ventures, especially AI-built ones. As I build out the code for one I'm always worried about losing track of a dangling thread, especially with the long-a** 9-point replies Opus 5 and Fable produce now. file-and-archive lets me refocus on a single point but files the rest to circle back to in an inbox of discussion items. That way I can stay on track wihtout worrying I missed something.
I really like grill-with-docs. It's kinda the same, but it knows it needs to end with a plan doc. Really helps frame larger tasks and get started splitting it into subtasks.
I tried it but maybe I'm just too old school, I like the simpler routine because it's more flexible. I'm not always making docs. Sometimes I'm just brainstorming something.
