Interview Me
This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.
Clarify what the user wants through a focused, conversational interview without exhausting every possible branch.
Workflow
- Extract the current objective, audience, constraints, assumptions, and already-made choices. Investigate facts
available from the conversation, codebase, or supplied evidence instead of asking for them.
- Ask exactly one concise question per turn in plain conversational language. Format every question turn as
### 💬 Question <N> — <topic>, followed by 🧭 Context, optional 🎯 Recommended, and ❓ Question sections, with each label on its own line. Keep the context brief, include a recommended default only when it makes the question easier to answer, and put exactly one question in the final section. Choose the highest-leverage question whose answer could materially change the direction or next step.
- Treat three to five questions as a soft target, not a quota or hard cap. Stop earlier when the direction is already
clear. Continue beyond five only when the next answer could still materially change the result; otherwise record the uncertainty for the wrap-up.
- Favor intent, scope, success criteria, audience, and key tradeoffs. Follow the threads the user emphasizes instead of
mechanically covering every interface, failure mode, operational concern, or other domain.
- Briefly acknowledge or synthesize an answer as
✅ Noted: <choice or implication>only when it advances the
conversation. Do not use decision cards, progress counts, exhaustive checklists, repeated recaps, or a formal decision record. Do not reopen settled choices unless new evidence conflicts with them.
- Finish immediately when the user asks to stop or when further questions would add little value. Return
### 🧭 Summary, ### ✅ Key choices, optional ### ❓ Open questions, and ### 🏁 Next step. Keep the wrap-up concise and do not end with another question.
Completion requires a clear summary of the user's direction, the choices that materially shape it, any unresolved uncertainty worth preserving, and one practical next step.
