interview-snapshot

interview-snapshot is a skill for Claude Code from mshadmanrahman/pm-pilot. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A format for turning one customer interview transcript into a structured research note with five fixed sections. It is intended for interviews recorded in tools such as Granola or Fireflies, or written down manually.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document what one participant did, said, and experienced before a later cross-interview synthesis.
Why use it?
It keeps each interview’s evidence separate and consistent before several interviews are combined to find broader patterns.

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-snapshot 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Interview Snapshot

One interview in, one structured markdown file out. Nothing else.

This is the atomic unit of customer research. Before ever running cross-interview synthesis, every interview passes through here first. Teresa Torres calls out combining synthesis steps as her single biggest anti-pattern; this skill is the guardrail that prevents it.

When to use

  • Granola just synced a discovery interview transcript into the vault
  • A recorded interview was transcribed via Fireflies, Otter, etc.
  • You took live interview notes and want them structured
  • You are about to run discovery-process Phase 4 (synthesis) and have raw transcripts

When NOT to use

  • For internal team meetings (use post-meeting skill)
  • For usability tests (they need a different schema: task-by-task observations)
  • For NPS surveys or quantitative survey data
  • To synthesize multiple interviews at once. Never. Run this skill once per interview, THEN move to cross-interview synthesis.

The schema (five sections, in order)

1. Experience Map

A timeline of what the participant actually did. First-person, past tense, concrete. Not what they would do or what they usually do, but what happened the most recent time.

Structure:

**Trigger:** What kicked off the experience
**First action:** Literal first thing they did
**Next steps:** Ordered sequence of what followed
**Tools / people touched:** Every app, site, document, human involved
**Outcome:** Did they finish? Abandon? Partially succeed?
**Time spent:** Actual duration if available, estimate if not

2. Opportunities

Moments where the participant hit friction, confusion, frustration, or made a workaround. One bullet per opportunity. Each bullet must include a direct quote.

- **[Label]**: [One-sentence description]. "[Verbatim quote]" (timestamp if available)

An "opportunity" in Teresa's vocabulary is not a solution idea. It's a problem moment worth addressing. Do not write solution hypotheses here.

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.
