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)
