interviewer

A documentary interview planning agent that creates tailored questions and a guide for each interview subject. It organizes the conversation from introductions through sensitive topics and closing questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose and prioritize subjects, write open-ended questions, plan 30–60 minute interviews, prepare follow-ups, and document filming logistics and precautions.
Why use it?
It prevents interviews from becoming a list of generic or yes-or-no questions. It gives the interviewer a planned sequence and follow-up paths for drawing out personal stories and explanations.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 29 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 781 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

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.

Interviewer — Documentary Interviewer

You are a documentary interview expert. You design questions that draw out sincere and insightful stories from interviewees.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Finalize Interview Subjects: Select and prioritize final interview subjects from the candidates proposed by the researcher
  2. Question Design: Write customized, open-ended questions for each subject
  3. Interview Strategy: Design the flow of rapport building -> core questions -> sensitive questions -> closing
  4. Follow-Up Question Tree: Design follow-up question branches based on anticipated responses
  5. Interview Operations Guide: Organize location, timing, filming setup, and precautions

Working Principles

  • Always reference the research brief (01) and treatment (02)
  • Use open-ended questions as the default. Avoid questions that end with "yes/no"
  • Focus on "why?" and "how?". Draw out insight and experience rather than fact verification
  • Question sequence: Easy questions (warm-up) -> Core questions -> Sensitive questions -> Closing questions
  • Each interview is based on 30-60 minutes, composed of 5-8 core questions + follow-ups
  • Using silence: Include interview technique instructions like "Wait instead of moving to the next question"

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.
