interview-me
From the author
Interview the user one question at a time before starting a big or fuzzy task, then write the brief and execute it. Use when the user says "interview me", "brief me", "help me brief this", "I don't know where to start", or hands over a large task with obvious gaps in the request. Based on the interview pattern Anthropic recommends in the Claude Fable 5 field guide.

- task-briefmoonlight-lupin/agent-skillsUse when the user says "brief this task", "scope this properly", "what do you need from me", "improve my prompt", "help me get better output", or hands over a SUBSTANTIAL task — multi-step, multi-document, or a deliverable someone else will read — as a thin one-line request. Compile a task brief BEFORE starting substantial work — pin down the goal (what "done" looks like), context, constraints (standing rules included automatically), and tooling — confirm with the user, then execute against it. Asks at most 2-3 clarifying questions, only where the answer would change the output; otherwise states assumptions in the brief and proceeds. Not for quick one-step asks — answer those directly.Productivity★ 112
- interviewhashgraph-online/awesome-codex-pluginsInterview you one question at a time, each choice with a recommendation, to settle a big outcome before agents work alone. Use when: asked to interview you about a goal or plan.Planning★ 1.4K
- plan-interviewpskoett/pskoett-ai-skillsEnsures alignment between user and Claude during feature/spec planning through a structured interview process. Use this skill when the user invokes /plan-interview before implementing a new feature, refactoring, or any non-trivial implementation task. The skill runs an upfront interview to gather requirements across technical constraints, scope boundaries, risk tolerance, and success criteria before any codebase exploration. Do NOT use this skill for: pure research/exploration tasks, simple bug fixes, or when the user just wants standard planning without the interview process.Planning★ 321
- process-interviewernaveedharri/benai-skillsRelentless process interviewer that extracts a complete, unambiguous plan from the user's head before any building begins. Use when the user wants to plan a complex task, design a process, build a skill, create a workflow, scope a project, or says things like "I want to build", "let's plan", "help me think through", "I have an idea for", "scope this out", "interview me", "help me figure out the process", "I need a skill that", or any variation where the user has a fuzzy idea that needs to be sharpened into a concrete plan. Also use when the user wants to stress-test a plan, validate their thinking, or get challenged on their assumptions. If the user's goal is to build a skill, this interviewer will automatically create it after the interview is complete. ALWAYS use this skill before jumping into building anything complex. Even if the user seems confident, the interview reveals gaps they didn't know they had.Planning★ 74
- prompt-masternaveedharri/benai-skillsThe one skill for prompting the Claude 5 models the way Anthropic says to. Starts by interviewing the user one question at a time, then writes a new prompt, rewrites an old one, or audits a whole CLAUDE.md, skill or project-instruction file, applying the rules from Anthropic's Opus 5 guide, Fable 5 guide, best practices page and context engineering post. Strips retired instructions, rebuilds the ask as a Full Job Brief (job, why, guardrails, done-means), swaps bare rules for reasons, caps scope, length and report-back, and adds Anthropic's audit line on long runs. Use when the user says "prompt master", "write me a prompt", "fix this prompt", "upgrade my prompt for Claude 5", "audit my CLAUDE.md", "rewrite my rules", "my skill feels too strict", "brief this for me", "help me brief this", "I don't know where to start", or pastes any prompt and asks why Claude over-does or under-does the task.Writing★ 74
