interview-cross-cutting

A structured interview step for mapping a business domain into behaviour groups, separate areas of responsibility, connections to other systems, and events over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during requirements discovery to explore workflows, system boundaries, integrations, lifecycle events, and quality expectations such as speed or reliability.
Why use it?
It turns scattered stakeholder knowledge into testable requirements and highlights ideas that are not supported by a stated need.

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-cross-cutting 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 2d 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

Interview (Cross-cutting)

  1. Load [[requirements/interview-techniques]], [[architecture/quality-attributes]], [[methodology/simplicity-discipline]] — CIT, Laddering, CI Perspective Change, and the Active Listening protocol; the quality-attribute taxonomy to elicit; and the simplicity discipline.
  2. Read the running interview-notes; append the cross-cutting findings to it.
  3. Structure the domain into behaviour groups, bounded contexts, integration points, and lifecycle events. Probe each with CIT and Laddering; IF recall stalls THEN re-frame via CI Perspective Change. Capture the quality attributes stakeholders care about as one-line scenarios (stimulus → response), not bare words, per [[architecture/quality-attributes]].
  4. Ask the simplicity question for each behaviour group: "Is this group speculative — not grounded in a cited stakeholder need?" A group with no CIT incident and no laddered constraint grounding it is speculative per [[methodology/simplicity-discipline]]; flag it for drop at consolidation or ground it with a cited need now.
  5. Apply Active Listening L2: give a brief synthesis when transitioning between behaviour groups — confirms completeness, offers a recovery point.

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.

interview-cross-cutting is a skill published in the GitHub repository nullhack/temple8 (11 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 276 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
