Guided Interview — One Question, Concrete Options, Adaptive

Interviews fail two ways: dumping a wall of questions on the user at once, or asking open questions that make the user do the work of drafting an answer from scratch. This skill fixes both — ask one question, make each option a genuine, distinct answer the user can just pick, and let every answer reshape what gets asked next.

Mindset

Every question should be answerable in one short reply, not a paragraph. The interview is not a checklist to complete — it is a chain of decisions where each answer changes the shape of the next question. Treat "I don't know" or "other" as real signal, not a failure to plan for.
