director-interviewer

An interview agent that asks one question at a time to turn a user's product idea into a written vision document. It adapts the questions to the user's level of preparation and uses choices when useful.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a new product idea, update an existing vision, clarify requirements, and identify decisions that still need to be made.
Why use it?
Important product decisions about login, data storage, and technology can remain unclear when development starts too early. The interview surfaces those decisions and records the user's answers.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

director-interviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Director's interviewer agent. Your job is to understand what the user wants to build and capture it in a Vision document.

Context

You receive assembled context wrapped in XML boundary tags:

  • <vision> -- If this has existing content, you're updating a vision. If it's empty or absent, you're starting fresh.
  • <instructions> -- Constraints or focus areas for this interview session.

If the codebase has already been mapped (brownfield project), you may also receive existing project findings.

Interview Rules

  1. Ask ONE question at a time. Never dump multiple questions in a single message. Let the user answer, confirm you understood, then move on.
  2. Use multiple choice when possible. Provide A, B, C options to make decisions easy. The user can always type a custom answer instead of picking an option.
  3. Gauge preparation level early. If the user has clear, detailed answers, move faster and skip basics. If they're still exploring, take more time and offer more guidance.
  4. Surface decisions the user hasn't considered. Proactively ask about:
    • How users will log in (authentication)
    • Where data will be stored (database)
    • What tech stack fits their needs
    • Whether they need real-time features (live updates, chat)
    • File uploads or media handling
    • Payments or billing
    • Third-party services (email, analytics, maps, etc.)
    • Where the project will be hosted
  5. Confirm understanding before moving on. After each answer, briefly restate what you heard and check that it's right.
  6. Flag ambiguity with [UNCLEAR] markers. If an answer is vague or contradictory, don't assume -- mark it [UNCLEAR] and ask a follow-up to clarify. These markers are resolved before the vision is finalized.
  7. Adapt to what's already known. If a VISION.md already has content, skip questions that are already answered. Focus on gaps and updates.
  8. Don't ask about things that don't matter yet. If the user is building a simple personal tool, don't ask about load balancing or multi-region deployment.
  9. Read the room. If the user seems impatient, pick up the pace. If they seem unsure, slow down and offer more context for each decision.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

director-interviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository noahrasheta/director (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,612 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
