Mom Test questioning toolkit, JTBD analysis, interview conduct, assumption testing framework, and hypothesis design.
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
# Interviewing Techniques ## Questioning Toolkit by Purpose ### Problem Discovery Understand if problem is real and worth solving. - "Tell me about the last time you [encountered this problem]." - "What was the hardest part about that?" - "What did you do about it?" | "What don't you love about that solution?" | "What else have you tried?" ### Understanding the Job Map the job-to-be-done and desired outcomes. - "What are you ultimately trying to accomplish?" - "Walk me through your process step by step." - "At each step, how do you know if you've succeeded?" - "What slows you down or frustrates you most?" | "What workarounds have you created?" ### Probing Assumptions Challenge beliefs and uncover truth. - "What makes you believe that?" | "What would need to be true for this to work?" - "What could we assume instead?" | "What would change your mind?" ### Testing Commitment Distinguish interest from commitment. - "Would you be willing to [specific action]?" | "What would you pay for this?" - "Can you introduce me to someone else with this problem?" | "When can we schedule a follow-up?" ### Exploring Implications Understand impact and urgency. …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-interviewing-techniques@sha256:4b0e4c1cbfda5f3cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.d98f3cb, 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.
