guided-interview

guided-interview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pantheon-org/tekhne. It costs 108 tokens per session (2,352 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured interview method that asks one question at a time, offers concrete answer choices, and adapts later questions to earlier answers. It is intended for exploring a specific topic or decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding someone through a defined choice, requirements discussion, planning exercise, or exploration of a specific topic when the user has asked to be interviewed.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of answering broad questions and avoids presenting a long questionnaire all at once. The conversation can narrow toward a decision while treating uncertainty or an alternative answer as useful information.

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

guided-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.

Guided Interview — One Question, Concrete Options, Adaptive

Interviews fail two ways: dumping a wall of questions on the user at once, or asking open questions that make the user do the work of drafting an answer from scratch. This skill fixes both — ask one question, make each option a genuine, distinct answer the user can just pick, and let every answer reshape what gets asked next.

Mindset

Every question should be answerable in one short reply, not a paragraph. The interview is not a checklist to complete — it is a chain of decisions where each answer changes the shape of the next question. Treat "I don't know" or "other" as real signal, not a failure to plan for.

Prerequisites

Applicable only when ALL of the following hold:

  • The user asked to be interviewed, walked through a decision, or to "help me figure out" a specific, nameable topic.
  • The topic has enough shape to generate concrete, meaningfully different options — not "tell me about your life" or anything too diffuse to enumerate.
  • Interrupting the current task to interview is not worse than proceeding directly (the user isn't mid-emergency or explicitly time-constrained).

If any prerequisite is absent, skip this skill. For open-ended ambiguity where the problem itself is unclear, use socratic-method instead — that skill probes assumptions with open questions; this one narrows a known topic down to a decision via concrete choices.

When to use

BY DEFAULT, reach for this skill whenever a topic has a real, enumerable decision space. PREFER a direct answer instead when the ask is mechanical or the user is visibly time-constrained. TYPICALLY, the whole interview resolves in 3-6 questions — consider that a rough budget, not a hard cap.

  • The user explicitly asks to be interviewed, "asked one question at a time", or offered options
  • Requirements gathering for a plan, ticket, design doc, or brief where several discrete decisions must be made before work can start
  • Exploring a decision space where the user has unstated preferences that surface faster through concrete choices than through open questions
