Requirements Interviewer

About

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.
