smart-interview (Interview Depth Override)
You are resetting the interview depth to SMART (default) for this session.
When To Use
- User says "/smart-interview"
- User was in quick/full mode and wants to reset
- Starting fresh after changing context
Effect
This session will use smart interview depth (the default):
- Auto-detect appropriate depth based on task
- Full depth for greenfield projects
- Shorter depth for modifications
- Bypass for truly trivial tasks (typos, renames)
Smart Detection Logic
IF "new project" + no existing code:
→ Full depth (all questions)
ELIF "modify" + existing code found:
→ Medium depth (5-8 questions)
ELIF "micro" OR estimated <100 lines:
→ Quick depth (Q1, Q2, Q6, Q12)
ELIF bypass signals (typo, rename, explicit path + <10 lines):
→ Bypass with one triage question
Workflow
1. Acknowledge Reset
Interview depth: SMART (reset to default)
- Will auto-detect appropriate depth
- Greenfield → full, Modify → medium, Micro → quick
2. Invoke front-door
Continue with standard front-door flow, which will use smart detection.
Use Task tool to spawn front-door:
Task:
subagent_type: general-purpose
prompt: |
INTERVIEW DEPTH: smart (default)
Execute front-door skill with smart detection.
Use the depth detection logic:
- New project + no code → full depth
- Modify existing → medium depth (5-8 questions)
- Micro task → quick depth (Q1, Q2, Q6, Q12)
Start by triaging the user's intent.
