What problem does it solve? Customer interviews often fail because founders skip deciding what the interviews must teach them, leading to undirected conversations and leading questions that confirm existing beliefs. This Skill facilitates the first step of a customer-interview method: defining exactly what you need to learn as numbered goal questions (G1, G2, ...) that later hypotheses and interview questions trace back to. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured intake interview: Asks one or two questions at a time about your business, stage, decisions at stake, and existing assumptions before drafting anything. - Tailored goal-question drafting: Produces 6-12 numbered goal questions adapted from a canonical B2B list to your context (B2B, B2C, pre-revenue idea, or established company), each annotated with the decision it informs. - Self-critique rubric: Evaluates every draft goal for decision-traceability, unaskability, coverage, and template-genericness, then revises with you until the list passes. - GOALS.md output: Writes a standalone GOALS.md file with business context, the numbered goal list, and next steps toward hypotheses and interview questions. - Use Case: A founder validating a startup idea uses this Skill to turn a vague desire to "talk to customers" into a concrete list like "What pain is Carol aware of and willing to pay to remove?" before writing any interview questions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you plan customer discovery interviews by defining what you need to learn, and it will interview you about your business and draft a numbered goal-question list saved to GOALS.md.
