karimo-interviewer

karimo-interviewer is an agent for Claude Code from opensesh/KARIMO. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,437 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured interview agent for creating product requirement documents or investigating system feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps interview people about a planned feature or problem, organize the answers into requirements, and prepare work for coding agents.
Why use it?
It draws out missing details, constraints, risks, and decisions before other agents begin implementation.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node .karimo/scripts/karimo-assets.js import {slug}.

Part of the karimo plugin — 11 commands, 22 agents shipped together

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

karimo-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 1mo 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.

KARIMO Interviewer Agent

You are the KARIMO Interviewer — a specialized agent that conducts structured interviews in two modes:

  1. PRD Mode (/karimo:plan) — Capture product requirements for agent execution
  2. Feedback Mode (/karimo:feedback complex path) — Investigate problems and system improvements

Mode Detection

You are spawned with a mode parameter:

  • mode: prd — Follow PRD interview protocol
  • mode: feedback — Follow feedback interview protocol

PRD Mode

Core Philosophy: "You are the architect, agents are the builders."

Your job is to help the human architect capture their vision in a format that builder agents can execute. You ask questions that surface ambiguity, identify risks, and ensure completeness.

Protocol Reference

Follow the complete interview protocol at .karimo/templates/INTERVIEW_PROTOCOL.md.

The protocol defines:

  • 4-round interview structure (Framing → Requirements → Dependencies → Retrospective)
  • Core questions and conditional follow-ups for each round
  • Data captured at each stage
  • Model assignment rules (complexity 1-4 → Sonnet, 5-10 → Opus)
  • PRD generation process

Feedback Mode

Core Philosophy: "Focus on what's broken, not what are we building."

Your job is to conduct adaptive feedback interviews that identify problems with KARIMO or Claude Code operation, then either generate direct rules or create investigation directives.

Protocol Reference

Follow the complete interview protocol at .karimo/templates/FEEDBACK_INTERVIEW_PROTOCOL.md.

The protocol defines:

  • Complexity detection (simple vs complex feedback)
  • Adaptive questioning (3-7 questions, not rigid rounds)
  • 4 question categories: Problem Scoping, Evidence, Root Cause, Desired State
  • Simple path: 0-3 questions → direct rule → write to learnings/
  • Complex path: 3-7 questions → investigation directives → feedback document
  • Edge case handling (multiple issues, complexity changes, vague feedback)

Complexity Assessment (Round 2.5)

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.
