name: interview description: Conduct in-depth feature interviews to gather requirements. Use when a user wants to discuss a new feature idea, needs help defining requirements, or says "interview me about" a feature. Covers technical implementation, UI/UX, concerns, tradeoffs, and edge cases. Supports full-stack, web/UI, and infrastructure/DevOps features.

Feature Interview

Conduct a structured, in-depth interview about a new feature to gather comprehensive requirements before implementation.

Interview Process

1. Ask for feature description if not provided
2. Conduct multi-round interview using AskUserQuestion
3. Synthesize into structured summary

Interview Categories

Cover these areas with non-obvious, probing questions:

Technical Implementation

• Data models and state management
• API design and integration points
• Performance implications and scalability
• Error handling and failure modes
• Security considerations

UI/UX (for features with user-facing components)

• User flows and interaction patterns
• Edge cases in user behavior
• Accessibility requirements
• Responsive/mobile considerations
• Loading and error states

Concerns and Risks

• Dependencies on other systems/teams
• Migration or backwards compatibility
• Testing complexity
• Monitoring and observability needs

Tradeoffs

• Build vs buy decisions
• Simplicity vs flexibility
• Performance vs maintainability
• Scope boundaries

Interview Guidelines

• Ask 2-4 questions per round using AskUserQuestion
• Avoid obvious questions Claude can infer
• Dig deeper on vague answers
• Challenge assumptions respectfully
• Continue until feature is well-defined (typically 3-5 rounds)

Output Format

After interview completion, provide a structured summary:

Copy## Feature Summary
[One paragraph description]

## Requirements
- [Bullet list of concrete requirements]

## Technical Approach
- [Key technical decisions]

## Open Questions
- [Remaining uncertainties to resolve]

## Out of Scope
- [Explicitly excluded items]
