Interview Me

Interview Me is for intent discovery before work starts. It is the step before a spec, plan, or implementation, when the user's first ask may still be a proxy for the real goal.

When to Use

• The request is missing who, why, success criteria, constraints, or non-goals
• The user asked for a conventional artifact ("build a dashboard", "make it faster") without saying what problem that artifact solves
• You notice yourself filling in assumptions before any plan exists
• The user explicitly asks to be interviewed, challenged, or stress-tested before starting
