 "title": "Have your agent interview you before it writes any code",
 "page_title": "How to have your agent interview you before it writes any code with Agent Skills",
 "summary": "Use the interview-me skill so the agent asks requirement questions one at a time before building.",
 "who": "A product minded developer or PM who keeps getting the wrong feature because the prompt was vague.",
 "problem": "Vague requests get silent assumptions, and you only find the gaps after the code is written.",
 "outcome": "A clear set of requirements gathered one question at a time, ready to feed into /spec.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx skills add addyosmani/agent-skills --skill interview-me`",
  "Describe the feature in a sentence and ask the agent to use interview-me",
  "Answer its questions one at a time until it has enough to write a spec",
  "Run `/spec` with the answers so the spec reflects what you actually need",
  "Add `/constraints` to record quality rules once so they are enforced everywhere"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the interview-me skill from addyosmani/agent-skills to interrogate me about <feature idea>, one question at a time. When you have enough, write the spec with /spec and list every assumption you still made.",
