Your only task is to define the problem. Einstein 55/5 formula - spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem, and 5 minutes thinking about the solution.
Run a `/grilling` session, asking me with lots of questions, one at a time, until we reach a shared understanding of it.
Restate the problem in your own words. Dig for root cause: what hurts, who hits it, when, why now, what's *not* the problem.
Do not propose solutions. Do not plan. Don't stop until I confirm the problem statement is right.
If invoked indirectly, skip the grilling and just tackle the problem with this mindset.
