About this Skill

Clarify the user's underlying intent through a one-question-at-a-time interview before planning or coding. Ask a focused question with a tentative interpretation, revise the understanding and confirm the final restatement.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • The request names a solution without a clear user, problem or success criterion.

Workflow and deliverables

Ask a focused question with a tentative interpretation, revise the understanding and confirm the final restatement.

A user-confirmed statement of intent; an optional persistent intent file is saved only when requested and confirmed.

Interview Me instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
