What problem does it solve? Surface-level conversations often miss the real constraints, motivations, and assumptions behind decisions. This Skill conducts structured interviews that dig past rehearsed answers to uncover what the user hasn't yet articulated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - TEDW Probing Framework: Uses Tell-me-more, Explain, Describe, and What/Which-specifically prompts to deepen vague or abstract answers without interrogation-style "why" loops. - Follow-Up Mastery: Chains questions 2-3 levels deep to move past surface answers toward actual stakes and root causes. - Context Adaptations: Tailored question sets for product research, life decisions, technical design, and problem diagnosis. - Advanced Tactics Reference: Loads references/tactics.md for guarded subjects, covering the Columbo method, emotion labeling, behavioral questions, and scaling questions. - Use Case: A user deciding whether to accept a job offer gets interviewed; the conversation follows threads from salary concerns down to the unexamined question of what they actually want long-term. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to interview you about a decision or topic, for example: "Interview me about whether I should take this job offer."
