What is the purpose of the Interview skill?

It helps Claude understand the root problem (the WHY) behind a request to ensure the final solution aligns perfectly with your actual needs and constraints.

When should I use the /interview command?

Use it for complex tasks, when you need recommendations, during brainstorming sessions, or whenever a request is ambiguous and might be misunderstood.

How does this skill prevent errors?

It explicitly surfaces hidden assumptions and requires a mutual agreement on both the problem and the solution before Claude takes any action.

Can I use this for non-coding tasks?

Yes, the discovery framework is context-agnostic and works for documentation, automation design, and strategic brainstorming.

生产力与工作流

Uncovers the underlying intent and validates assumptions through structured discovery conversations to ensure AI-generated solutions match user needs.

关于

The Interview skill acts as a bridge between surface-level requests and meaningful results by facilitating a deep-dive discovery process. It employs techniques like laddering and assumption surfacing to prevent Claude from proceeding on incorrect premises. This skill is essential for high-stakes development, complex brainstorming, or any scenario where alignment is more important than immediate output, ensuring that the 'WHY' is fully understood before the 'WHAT' is built.
