sm:invalidate-interview

Generate user interview scripts to test product assumptions by converting ranked assumptions and personas into a structured, read-aloud conversation with negative-framed questions and pause cues. This produces a 20-30 minute script designed to invalidate design hypotheses and gather verbatim corrections.

Negative framing in user research interviews is a technique that phrases assumptions as incorrect statements to invite correction from the participant. It surfaces corrective, provable signals rather than polite confirmations, helping builders gather pull signals and test whether core product assumptions are wrong.

Prepare assumptions and personas for an assumption-testing interview by running an invalidate-prep step to rank hypotheses and define user profiles. The Skill requires this ranked prep output to gate script generation, refusing to produce an interview script without it to avoid aimless conversations.

Yes, you can conduct a live user research interview using the generated script, which is formatted for read-aloud execution. It includes opening language, demographic anchors, per-assumption negative frames with explicit pauses, a walk-away setup, and a scarce ask for referrals for a 20-30 minute session.

The best way to invalidate design hypotheses during customer conversations is using a structured interview script with negative-framed prompts. By applying negative frames to top-ranked P1 and P2 assumptions with explicit pause cues, you remove guesswork and extract corrective signals from real users.

The interview script generator requires prep output before creating questions to ensure targeted, assumption-testing conversations. This prep-dependent gating validates that ranked assumptions and personas exist, preventing aimless interviews and ensuring the negative frames are accurately applied to the correct user profile.
