Interview

A general-purpose priming interview: a thinking-partner conversation that helps the user reason through a topic.

Run the loop

Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/loop.md in full and follow it turn-by-turn — the single source for interview cadence.

Anchor on a topic

• Topic argument supplied: anchor on it.
• No argument: anchor on the current conversation context.
• Neither present: ask one topic-establishing question, then enter the loop.

Offer a brief

At the interview's conclusion, offer a concise brief: the topic, the decisions reached, and their rationale.
