What is a 'Validated Understanding' summary?

It is a synthesized document created after the interview that outlines the project goal, key decisions made, constraints confirmed, and what is explicitly out of scope.

Why should I use the Requirements Interviewer skill?

It prevents wasted time and iterative reworks by ensuring the AI understands your specific constraints, preferences, and architectural goals before any code is written.

How many questions will the AI ask during an interview?

To respect your time, the skill follows a budget of maximum 4 questions per tool call and a total maximum of 3 rounds of questioning.

Can I manually trigger an interview?

Yes, you can trigger this workflow at any time by using the /ring:interview-me command or by asking Claude to 'clarify requirements with me'.

When does this skill trigger automatically?

The skill triggers when Claude detects significant ambiguity, encounters multiple valid implementation paths, or receives high-level tasks that lack specific technical direction.

Systematically interviews users to uncover ambiguities, preferences, and constraints before software implementation begins.

소개

The Requirements Interviewer skill is a proactive workflow component designed to eliminate wasted development effort caused by incorrect assumptions. By analyzing the codebase and user requests, it generates an ambiguity inventory and conducts structured interviews to clarify architectural decisions and functional requirements. This skill ensures that Claude has a 'Validated Understanding' of the task—including constraints and out-of-scope items—and requires explicit user confirmation before proceeding with code changes.
