A strict Socratic interview flow uses inline gating questions to elicit depth and clarity during an engineering interview. It guides the dialogue sequentially, preventing terminal handoff issues by keeping the interaction contained within an automated wrapper.

To prevent terminal handoff issues in automated interview workflows, use a self-contained wrapper that embeds the interview loop directly. This preserves the original source authority and maintains workflow consistency across repeated runs.

Story-level code-review enforcement in software engineering applies structured evaluation checks directly within an automated interview flow. It ensures rigorous assessment of solutions by embedding review gates that maintain coherent dialogue and depth.

Yes, the strict interview wrapper requires access to the source-of-truth file at .claude/commands/ralph-strict.md. It delegates procedural steps to this reference to maintain consistency and preserves user-provided arguments to continue the workflow.

Yes, you can use Socratic gating for repeatable and auditable engineering decision paths. The strict interview flow enforces rigorous dialogue structures, making it suitable for automated workflows requiring coherent and auditable evaluation paths.
