interview-me

interview-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kok-o/koko-contextos-agents. It costs 37 tokens per session (768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive requirements interview that asks one focused question at a time before planning or coding. Requirements are the decisions and constraints a software change must satisfy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify architecture, user experience, business rules, and scope before implementation. It is also designed for prompts such as “ask me questions first” or commands like /spec and /interview.
Why use it?
It reduces rework caused by vague requests, unresolved design choices, or assumptions about high-impact changes such as database migrations and authentication refactors.

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 6d 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.

Overview

Structured requirements interrogation framework inspired by addyosmani/agent-skills. Prevents wasted cycles by transforming vague user intents into crisp, unambiguous architectural constraints through single-question progressive interview loops.

When to Use

Activate whenever:

  • User task has underspecified requirements, open UX decisions, or multiple viable architectural trade-offs.
  • A high-blast-radius change (database migrations, auth refactor, API contract change) is requested.
  • Explicitly triggered via /spec, /interview, or "ask me questions first".

Rules & Patterns

1. The One-Question-At-A-Time Rule

Never overwhelm the user with a 10-point interrogation form.

  • Ask exactly ONE focused question per turn (or at most two tightly-coupled binary options).
  • Provide the recommended option first with clear rationale: "(Recommended) Option A because...".
  • Always allow write-in or clarification.

2. The 4 Interrogation Dimensions

Interrogate in this strict priority order:

  1. Business Outcome & Invariants:
    • What core problem does this solve?
    • What behavior is strictly forbidden?
  2. Scope Boundaries (In vs Out):
    • What must be delivered in this atomic slice?
    • What is explicitly deferred to later?
  3. Technical Constraints:
    • Versions, libraries, database engines, backwards compatibility requirements.
  4. Edge Cases & Failure Modes:
    • What happens on network disconnect, empty response, or unauthorized token?

3. Progressive Synthesis

After each user answer:

  • Acknowledge the decision and update the mental model.
  • If more critical decisions remain, ask the next question.
  • Once 2–4 key questions are resolved, synthesize the formal Feature Spec and transition to engineering-workflow ([PHASE: Plan]).

Code Examples

Interactive Interview Turn Example

**Question 1 of 3 (Authentication Strategy)**

Before implementing the API authentication layer, we need to align on session storage:

1. **(Recommended) HTTP-only Secure Cookies with Refresh Tokens**:
   - *Why*: Immune to XSS token theft, standard for web dashboards.
2. **Bearer Token in Authorization Header**:
   - *Why*: Ideal if this API will also be consumed by mobile apps or third-party CLI tools.

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.
