requirements-interview

requirements-interview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sananthanarayan/skilldrop. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,439 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A feature-discovery interview guide that creates tailored question sets for each stakeholder, such as users, sponsors, support teams, or legal staff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare stakeholder interviews before writing a product requirements document. It helps record assumptions, uncover workflows and constraints, and identify evidence that could change or reject the feature.
Why use it?
It keeps interviews focused on unknowns and decisions instead of collecting vague agreement with a proposed feature. It also tests whether the feature is actually needed.

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

requirements-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 5d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

requirements-interview

Builds the elicitation kit for the conversations before the PRD — so the answers come back in a shape brief-intake and prd-draft can consume, instead of as ten pages of agreement with the roadmap. The discipline: every question names the decision it informs, problems are asked about instead of solutions, and every script tries at least once to kill the feature.

How to respond

  1. Pin the feature idea and identify the stakeholder cast. From the idea, derive who holds which unknowns — typically: sponsor (success definition, constraints, appetite), end users (the actual workflow and workarounds — interview the people who do the work, not their manager), ops/support (failure modes, ticket reality, operational cost), security/compliance/legal (data constraints, regulatory floor), finance/commercial (pricing, cost ceiling) when money moves. Ask the user at most 2 questions — who's available, and what's already known — then build kits only for stakeholders who hold open unknowns. No interview exists to confirm what's already evidenced.

  2. Write ≤7 questions per stakeholder, ranked by design impact. Rank 1 is the answer that most changes what gets built. Each question carries two annotations: informs (the decision) and if-answer-is-X-then (how the design moves). A question that wouldn't change anything regardless of answer doesn't make the seven. ✅ "Walk me through the last time you handled a refund request — every tool you touched." (informs: scope of integration; if 3+ tools → unified view is the core, not a nicety) — ❌ "Would a refund dashboard be useful?" (everyone says yes to free things).

  3. Ask about problems and the past, never solutions and the hypothetical. People are reliable witnesses of what they did and unreliable predictors of what they'd use. ✅ "What did you do the last time X failed?" — ❌ "Would you use a feature that prevents X?". Solutions offered by stakeholders get recorded as evidence of pain, then converted back into the underlying problem.

Changes

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.
