user-interview-prep

Start by sharpening your topic into one testable research question, list the hypotheses you are carrying, then structure a 30-minute interview with warm-up, core exploration, and wrap-up sections. This Skill generates that full kit from a single topic input.

Good questions ask about past behavior rather than hypotheticals, such as "Tell me about the last time you..." instead of "Would you use...". The Skill enforces Mom Test principles and bans questions starting with "Would you" or "Do you think".

The Mom Test is a questioning approach where you ask about people's lives and past behavior instead of your idea, so even your mom would give honest data. The Skill applies these rules to every generated question.

This Skill caps the guide at 12 questions, prioritizing quality over quantity, with at least two follow-up prompts per core question. The entire output stays under two pages so it can be printed and brought to the interview.

No. The Skill explicitly excludes questions about the PM's product or solution, focusing entirely on understanding the user's problem space, workarounds, and behavior to avoid confirmation bias.
