Can I use this on existing project documentation?

Yes, by passing a file path as an argument, the skill will read the file, interview you for improvements, and rewrite the file with the refined specification.

Does this skill require any global installations?

No, it uses a bundled version of flowctl located within the plugin root, ensuring it works out of the box without global dependencies.

Why does the interviewer ask so many questions?

It is designed to be exhaustive (often 40+ questions) to ensure that every potential edge case and implementation detail is considered before any code is written.

What happens to the information gathered during the interview?

The skill automatically writes the refined details, architecture decisions, and acceptance criteria back to your .flow/ tracking system or the specified Markdown file.

How do I trigger the technical interview process?

You can trigger the process by running /flow-next:interview followed by a Flow ID (e.g., fn-1) or a path to a markdown specification file.

Productivity & Workflow

Refines project specifications and implementation details through exhaustive, automated technical interviews within Claude Code.

About

Flow-Next Interviewer transforms vague requirements into concrete, actionable specifications by conducting deep technical interviews. It systematically probes for edge cases, architecture decisions, and acceptance criteria across epics, specific tasks, or existing documentation files. By integrating directly with the Flow-Next ecosystem, it ensures that every nuance of a feature is captured and written back to the project's task tracking system or spec files, preventing scope drift and ensuring a robust plan before coding begins.

Key Features

Directly updates Flow-Next epics and tasks using the bundled flowctl utility
Conducts exhaustive technical interviews with 40+ probing questions
Automates the refinement of Markdown specification files
Uses structured AskUserQuestion tool calls for a clean interactive experience
Systematically extracts edge cases and technical acceptance criteria
356 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Fleshing out a high-level epic into a detailed technical plan before development
Updating stale technical documentation with refined project requirements
Clarifying complex implementation details for specific sub-tasks
