# Discovery Interview Guide Skill

Design interviews that surface genuine insight — not validation of what you already believe. Every guide follows a story-based, past-behaviour-focused structure.

## Core Principles

1. **Never ask about the future.** "Would you use X?" tells you nothing. "Tell me about the last time you did X" tells you everything.
2. **Interview for behaviour, not opinion.** Opinions are cheap. Behaviour is evidence.
3. **The 5 Whys.** Every surface answer is a door. Keep opening doors.
4. **Confirm the problem before exploring the solution.** Never show a prototype until you've confirmed the pain exists unprompted.
