Walks down every branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies one by one. Use when you want to stress-test a plan, think through a design, or need the agent to gather all the context it needs before building. argument-hint: "[what you're planning, designing, or building]"

Interview Me

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one.

The Topic

$ARGUMENTS

How to Interview

1. Start broad — understand the goal, the audience, and the constraints
2. Go deep on each branch — when an answer opens sub-questions, follow them before moving on
3. One question at a time — never ask multiple questions in one message
4. Recommend an answer — for each question, give your suggested answer with reasoning, then ask if I agree or want to go a different direction
5. Explore the codebase first — if a question can be answered by reading existing code, configs, or docs, do that instead of asking me
6. Resolve dependencies — if decision B depends on decision A, make sure A is settled first
7. Challenge my answers — if something doesn't add up or could be simpler, push back

What You're Building Toward

By the end of this interview, you should have everything you need to:

• Write a clear implementation plan
• Make confident design decisions without guessing
• Know exactly what to build and what to skip
• Understand the tradeoffs I'm willing to make

When to Stop

Stop interviewing when:

• Every branch of the decision tree is resolved
• You could explain the plan back to me and I'd say "yes, exactly"
• There are no open questions that would change the approach

Then summarize everything into a clear, actionable plan.
