Product Interview

Protocol

Input

• Feature: a feature name/description or an existing meta/specs/NNN-slug/ path.
  • Match first: before writing, match the feature against existing folder slugs in meta/specs/. Never mint a new NNN before this check.
  • Exactly one match: use that folder; Step 5 updates its spec in place.
  • Several plausible matches: list them via AskUserQuestion; never glob-and-pick.
  • No match: resolve the next number plus a slug from the feature name as the new NNN-slug.
  • Stable home: resolve NNN-slug here so a mid-interview generate-mockups call has a destination.
  • Lazy creation: whichever writes first creates the folder — mockups at Step 2 or spec.md at Step 5.

Resumability — check before Step 0

On re-entry to an existing feature, read what exists on disk first; the spec encodes where a prior session stopped — resume there rather than re-interviewing settled ground:
