Individual skill

interview-framework

This skill should be used when a Ralph phase must identify critical user decisions, run a layered grill, persist partial answers, obtain explicit approval, or resume an interrupted phase interview before delegating artifact work.

# Interview Framework

Treat every normal-mode interview governed by this framework as a grill. Run the approval-gated interview for `start`, `triage`, `research`, `requirements`, `design`, and `tasks`. Treat this skill and its references as the single source of truth for interview behavior. Phase commands supply exploration territory and artifact context; they do not redefine the algorithm.

Quick mode bypasses interview questions only. It still requires current discovery, contract loading, bypass receipts, delegation checks, and artifact-agent load parity.

## Entry Contract

Before each new or resumed interview:

1. Complete the applicable skill discovery pass from `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/normal-mode-gates.md`.
2. Reload this entire `SKILL.md`, `references/algorithm.md`, `references/domain-modeling.md`, every selected skill body, and every selected skill resource required for the current work. Load `references/examples.md` only when an example is needed.
3. Record the load manifest with `phase_gate.py record-skill-load`.
4. Begin or resume the interview with the matching phase, interview ID, discovery revision, and context digest.
