Deep Interview FAQs

Question 1

What happens if I don't provide an output path?

Accepted Answer

By default, the skill creates a structured folder in your Documents directory under 'interviews/topic-date', or within your project root if a CLAUDE.md file is detected.

Question 2

What types of questions does the AI ask?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses a variety of techniques including 'What', 'How', 'Why', and 'What-if' questions, often providing multi-select options to help surface assumptions and speed up the extraction process.

Question 3

Does it wait until the end to save my answers?

Accepted Answer

No. One of the core principles of this skill is incremental writing; it saves what it learns after every single response to ensure no data is lost and files stay updated in real-time.

Question 4

Can I control the length and detail of the interview?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the --depth flag with 'shallow', 'medium', or 'deep' arguments to set the number of question rounds and the resulting volume of documentation.

Question 5

How does the Deep Interview skill organize extracted knowledge?

Accepted Answer

The skill automatically creates a dedicated directory for your topic, generating an index file, theme-specific Markdown files, and sub-folders for complex subjects as the interview progresses.
