Interview

When to use

Use when the request lacks a material product or implementation choice that cannot be discovered from the workspace or tools.

Non-goals

• Do not interview for facts you can read, search, or measure.
• Do not ask multi-question dumps. One focused question at a time.
• Do not invent requirements.

Workflow

1. State the missing decision and why it blocks progress.
2. Offer concrete options when possible.
3. Record the answer and continue the work.
4. Produce a short brief/spec only when enough answers exist.

Failure mode

If the user declines to answer, proceed with explicit assumptions and label them.
