interview

interview is a skill for Claude Code from ils15/pantheon-legacy. It costs 21 tokens per session (822 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided interview process for turning a rough feature idea into a written software specification. It asks focused questions about scope, users, constraints, success criteria, and non-goals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before building a non-trivial feature, such as a notification system or a real-time dashboard, to clarify what to build and how to judge the result.
Why use it?
It exposes missing decisions early, reducing misunderstandings and rework during implementation.

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.

Interview — Idea to Spec

Use this skill to transform a rough idea into a structured spec before implementation. A 5-minute interview prevents hours of rework.


Usage

Invoke via the /sketch command:

/sketch Add a notification system so users get alerted when their order ships

Or trigger Athena directly:

@athena: Interview me about this feature: real-time dashboard for agent cost tracking

Interview Protocol

Phase 1: Discover (3–5 questions, one at a time)

Ask questions in this priority order, stopping after you have enough clarity:

  1. Scope — "What's the minimum viable version of this feature?"
  2. Users — "Who uses this and what's their primary workflow?"
  3. Constraints — "Are there tech, time, or integration constraints?"
  4. Success criteria — "How will you know this is working correctly?"
  5. Non-goals — "What should this explicitly NOT do?"

Rules:

  • Ask one question at a time — never batch questions
  • Wait for the answer before asking the next
  • Stop asking when you have answers to at least 3 questions
  • If the user is unsure, offer 2–3 concrete options to choose from

Phase 2: Confirm Understanding

Before writing the spec, summarize your understanding in 2–3 sentences and ask: "Does this match what you have in mind, or did I miss anything?"

Phase 3: Write the Spec

Produce the spec only after getting confirmation.

interview is a skill published in the GitHub repository ils15/pantheon-legacy (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 822 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
