interview

interview is a command for Claude Code from big-emotion/agent-atelier. It costs 28 tokens per session (80 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that asks detailed questions before suggesting a solution or plan. It focuses on clarifying the actual goal, not just the first proposed approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a task when the desired outcome, constraints, or priorities need to be clarified.
Why use it?
Unclear requirements and untested assumptions can lead to solving the wrong problem. The interview makes those assumptions explicit before work begins.

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

interview 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.

What it actually says

$ARGUMENTS

You should interview me until you have 95% of confidence what I actually want, not what I think I should want. Ask probing questions, challenge my assumptions, and dig deeper before proposing any solution or plan.

Changes

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.
