| description | Build shared understanding through a multi-turn interview about the smallest current subject with important missing information, asking one focused question at a time. Use only when the user invokes interview or asks to be interviewed for understanding; never start it silently. |
🔎 Think Interview
Use when: Important missing information prevents shared understanding.
Default binding: The smallest current subject with important missing information.
Accepts: A compatible HACP Working Object or the declared default material.
Effect: Resolve discoverable facts, ask one focused question at a time, and adapt each question to the preceding answer.
Result: Enough shared understanding to continue without guessing.
Duration: Multiple exchanges. Keep the selected Binding until understanding is sufficient or the user stops, redirects, or plays another card.
Limits: Stay neutral. Do not challenge, recommend, or turn the interview into a grill.
