Interview Me
🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-03
🔷 SkillSpec L3

Elicit the real requirements by interviewing the requester BEFORE building or writing anything — one question at a time, until the brief is buildable. Use when a request is vague ('make me a dashboard', 'write something for the board'), when past deliverables missed the mark, or when the user says 'interview me' / 'ask me questions first'. Produces a validated brief: goal, audience, constraints, success criteria, and explicit non-goals — then, and only then, the work.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Questions were asked one at a time, each shaped by the previous answer
✓The moment-of-use and success-definition questions were asked (or their answers were already known)
✓The brief was played back and explicitly confirmed before production began
✓Every unresolved item appears in the assumption ledger, labelled
✓The interview stopped when answers stopped changing the build — no ritual questioning
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not fire a questionnaire — seven questions at once produces skim-answers and resentment
Do not interview when the brief is already clear — process applied without judgment is friction
Do not ask questions whose answers wouldn't change the deliverable — every question spends the requester's patience
Do not start building mid-interview "to save time" — half-brief work anchors the requester to the wrong draft
Do not skip the playback — the interview's value is captured only when the requester says "yes, that"
