| name | archi-interview-protocol |
| description | Inline helper for structured multiple-choice interviews. Protocol-invoked only; must return user-facing questions to the main conversation. |
Invocation
- Auto-invoke: No, not triggered by model based on description.
- Trigger location: Only explicitly called at corresponding step in
/archi.* protocols.
- Execution context: Can execute inline in current context; when involving user questions must return to main dialogue.
- Boundary: Only assist generating options, interview questions or structured fragments, does not advance protocol steps independently.
Supplementary Interview Protocol
Core Principles
Multiple-choice first. Do not open-ended ask (e.g. "What database do you want?"). Each question gives 3-5 options + [Z] Custom, AI recommends one, user confirms or chooses differently. Goal: User without domain knowledge can make reasonable decisions.
Rules
- Only ask about
gaps, do not self-expand topics
- What user already stated in Brief /
context do not re-ask, directly adopt
- Strongly-related gaps merge into one question, weakly-related separate
- Each question 3-5 options +
[Z] Custom (please describe) fallback
- Recommended item marked
[Recommended], reason must combine context, do not mechanically apply default
- Option "Description" must contain: What it is / What choosing means for project / What scenarios suitable (2-3 sentences, not one word)
AI+ / AI- write complete sentences from AI Agent execution perspective; each option must have tradeoffs, do not write "none"- Question count ≤
max_questions
Output Format
### Supplementary Confirmation
**[Q<n>] Question Title**
> One sentence explaining why this information is needed
| ID | Option | Description | AI+ | AI- |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| A [Recommended] | Option name | 2-3 sentence description | Complete sentence | Complete sentence |
| B | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| Z | Custom | (please describe) | - | - |
(Multiple questions repeat above Q-table)
**INPUT**: `Q1 answer | Q2 answer | ...` (Between questions use `|`; Single question multiple choices use space, e.g. `A B`)
Anti-Example Quick Reference
| Error | Rule Violated | Fix |
|---|
| `A | PostgreSQL` | #6 One-word description |
AI+: Good performance | #7 Not complete sentence | AI+: Structured Schema lets AI directly infer CRUD from types, reducing guessing |
AI-: None | #7 Avoiding | AI-: Migration scripts need sync maintenance as Schema evolves, AI easily misses field changes |
| Asking about tech stack Brief already stated | #2 | Skip, directly adopt |
