| description | Runs a structured Socratic interview before planning or execution. Use when the request is broad, vague, or underspecified. |
Deep Interview clarifies goals, constraints, and success criteria before implementation.
Use it when ambiguity is high and premature coding would create rework.
<Use_When>
- The request is broad, vague, or underspecified
- Multiple interpretations are possible
- Tradeoffs (time, quality, risk, scope) are unclear
- The user asks for an interview, discovery, or requirements clarification
</Use_When>
<Do_Not_Use_When>
- The task is a small focused fix with clear acceptance criteria
- The user explicitly asks to skip discovery and proceed immediately
</Do_Not_Use_When>
<Execution_Policy>
- Ask one question at a time
- Prefer concrete, decision-driving questions
- Converge quickly: stop when requirements are actionable
- Finish with an explicit contract summary and open risks
</Execution_Policy>
1. Restate the objective and constraints from the prompt.
2. Ask targeted questions in this order:
- Outcome and non-goals
- Scope boundaries
- Operational constraints (time, infra, compliance)
- Acceptance criteria and evidence
3. After each answer, refine assumptions and ask the next highest-impact question.
4. Stop when you can produce a clear implementation-ready brief.
5. Output a final summary with:
- Objective
- In-scope / out-of-scope
- Acceptance criteria
- Risks / unknowns
- Recommended next step (`plan`, `team`, or direct execution)
