SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The honcho-interview captures stable, cross-project user preferences and environment details so the AI assistant can remember and apply consistent behavior across sessions, projects, and context wipes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memory-first interview: Checks existing Honcho memory and environment files to avoid repeating known preferences.
  • Batched questioning: Presents all remaining preference questions in a single list so users can answer once and move on.
  • Structured conclusions: Converts each clear preference into a single-sentence conclusion saved via Honcho for reliable future behavior.
  • Use Case: When onboarding a developer, run the interview to record communication style, code-quality priorities, collaboration preferences, package managers, and editor/tooling so follow-up sessions respect those settings.

Quick Start

Run the honcho-interview to detect your environment and save your communication style, code-quality preferences, collaboration approach, and tooling choices to Honcho.

FAQPage Schema
How do I save cross-project user preferences so my AI assistant remembers them?

To save cross-project user preferences, you can run an interactive session that captures communication style, collaboration preferences, and tooling choices into persistent memory. The session batches remaining preference questions into a single list for you to answer once and move on.

How does memory-first interviewing avoid repeating known user preferences?

Memory-first interviewing avoids repeating known user preferences by checking existing memory and scanning environment files before asking any questions. It identifies your saved communication style and technical depth, then only presents a batched list of remaining unknown preferences.

What is the best way to record developer onboarding preferences for consistent AI behavior?

The best way to record developer onboarding preferences is to run an interactive interview that scans your environment and saves code-quality priorities, package managers, and editor tooling. It generates single-sentence conclusions for reliable future behavior across sessions.

Can I use environment scans to detect my development tooling and save it to memory?

Yes, you can use environment scans to detect your development tooling and save it to memory. The interview process automatically performs an environment scan to collect your current package managers, editors, and tooling choices before generating structured conclusions.

When do I need to generate single-sentence conclusions for user preferences?

You need to generate single-sentence conclusions for user preferences when you want to reliably save them to memory for consistent future behavior. Each clear preference identified during the interactive interview is converted into a distinct conclusion suitable for memory storage.

Does the preference interview work across different projects and context wipes?

Yes, the preference interview works across different projects and context wipes by capturing stable, cross-project preferences into persistent memory. This ensures the AI assistant can remember and apply consistent behavior regardless of session resets or project switches.
