Purpose

Structured interview -> PRD specifying what to build from the user's perspective. Pipeline: plan-feature -> write-a-prd -> review-prd -> glossary -> (design-ux) -> design-feature -> review-plan.

Starting

Before asking anything:

  1. Look for a scope document in ./plans/ (*-scope.md). If found, read it fully — problem statement, stakeholders, feasibility, and scope are your starting context.
  2. Explore the codebase for the product perspective — existing user flows, UI patterns, terminology, conventions.
  3. Search for existing documentation — user guides, help docs, product specs, onboarding flows.

If scope doc exists, ground your first question in it: "I've read the scope for [feature]. The problem is [X], stakeholders are [Y], scope includes [Z]. First question: [question about target users]."

No scope doc? Start from the user's description, beginning with problem/motivation.

Interview Protocol

Product discovery interview. Focus on user needs, behaviors, and success criteria — not technical implementation.
