Clarify intent, boundaries, and non-goals before planning. First step of the canonical coding workflow.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Deep Interview Skill

First step of the ChainlessChain canonical coding workflow:

```
$deep-interview  →  $ralplan  →  $ralph / $team
```

Use this skill when the user's request is vague, the scope is unclear,
or the boundaries and non-goals have not been agreed upon.

It writes a structured `intent.md` to
`<project>/.chainlesschain/sessions/<session-id>/intent.md` which the
next step (`$ralplan`) will read.

## Usage

```
$deep-interview "add authentication to the API"
```

## Inputs (params)

- `goal` (string, required) — the raw user request
- `clarifications` (string[], optional) — follow-up answers already gathered
- `nonGoals` (string[], optional) — explicit out-of-scope items
- `sessionId` (string, optional) — reuse an existing workflow session

## Output

`intent.md` file path + the rendered markdown, plus LLM guidance asking
the agent to ask the user any remaining clarification questions before
advancing to `$ralplan`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chainlesschain/chainlesschain/deep-interview@sha256:c7669a2f0a65c4f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
