interview-me

interview-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from drvoss/everything-copilot-cli. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,338 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview workflow that asks questions to discover what the user really wants before creating a plan, specification, or code. It is intended for requests missing goals, constraints, success criteria, or non-goals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify feature requests, project plans, dashboards, performance work, or other underspecified tasks. It can ask questions one at a time or in a numbered group when the questions are independent.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when a short request could mean several different things. The answers clarify the problem 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-me 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 yesterday.

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.

Interview Me

Interview Me is for intent discovery before work starts. It is the step before a spec, plan, or implementation, when the user's first ask may still be a proxy for the real goal.

Unlike grill-me, which stress-tests an existing plan through dialogue, Interview Me is for gathering missing intent from the requester and can produce a questionnaire-style batch when interactive back-and-forth would be too slow.

When to Use

  • The request is missing who, why, success criteria, constraints, or non-goals
  • The user asked for a conventional artifact ("build a dashboard", "make it faster") without saying what problem that artifact solves
  • You notice yourself filling in assumptions before any plan exists
  • The user explicitly asks to be interviewed, challenged, or stress-tested before starting

When NOT to Use

Instead of interview-me Use
The request is already clear and self-contained do the task
The user's intent is already clear, but an existing plan or spec now needs its assumptions pressure-tested grill-me
The work is really about choosing Copilot mode, tools, or delegation path rather than discovering the user's desired outcome task-intake-router
The user asked a factual or explanatory question answer directly

Loading Constraint

This skill needs an answerable user, but not always a live turn-by-turn exchange. If interactive back-and-forth is impractical, convert only the mutually independent unresolved questions into a questionnaire the requester can answer asynchronously. Do not invoke it when there is no responsible person who can answer.

Workflow

1. State your hypothesis and confidence

Before asking anything, write down:

  • your best current read of what the user wants
  • a confidence number from 0 to 100

If the number feels high but you cannot predict the next few answers, the number is too high.

2. Default to linear questioning; batch only independent clarifications

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.
