# Research Interview
Conduct a structured interview to help formalise a research idea into a concrete specification.
**Input:** `$ARGUMENTS` — a brief topic description or "start fresh" for open-ended exploration.
---
## How This Works
This is a **conversational** skill. Instead of producing a report immediately, you conduct an interview by asking questions one at a time, probing deeper based on answers, and building toward a structured research specification.
**Do NOT use the available structured-question mechanism.** Ask questions directly in your text responses, one or two at a time. Wait for the user to respond before continuing.
