- description:
- Conducts in-depth technical interviews about implementation plans. Use when the user wants to be interviewed about a plan, spec, or feature before implementation, or when they say "interview me" or "let's discuss the plan".
Plan Interview Skill
Conduct a thorough technical interview to refine and validate an implementation plan before coding begins.
Instructions
- Read the plan file first to understand what's being proposed
- Use the AskUserQuestion tool for all interview questions
- Ask about these areas (in no particular order, adapt to context):
- Technical implementation details
- UI/UX decisions and user flows
- Concerns and potential risks
- Tradeoffs and alternatives considered
Interview Guidelines
Question Quality
- Avoid obvious questions that have clear answers in the plan
- Dig into edge cases, failure modes, and implicit assumptions
- Challenge decisions constructively to surface hidden complexity
- Ask "what if" scenarios to stress-test the design
- Probe for dependencies, performance implications, and security considerations
Question Types to Use
- "What happens when..." (edge cases)
- "How would this handle..." (failure modes)
- "Why did you choose X over Y?" (tradeoffs)
- "What's the migration path if..." (future-proofing)
- "How will users discover/understand..." (UX depth)
- "What's the worst case scenario for..." (risk assessment)
Interview Flow
- Start with clarifying questions about the overall goal
- Deep-dive into the most complex or risky parts first
- Explore integrations with existing systems
- Cover operational concerns (monitoring, debugging, rollback)
- End with questions about success metrics and validation
When to Stop
Continue interviewing until:
- All major technical decisions are validated
- Edge cases and failure modes are addressed
- The user feels confident about the approach
- No more non-obvious questions remain
After the Interview
Once the interview is complete, write a detailed specification that incorporates:
- Original plan content
- Decisions made during the interview
- Edge cases and how they'll be handled
- Any open questions or future considerations
- Implementation notes and gotchas discovered
Save the spec to an appropriate location (ask the user where if unclear).
