Conduct a structured, one-question-at-a-time interview to explore a specific topic or decision — each question offers 3-4 concrete, mutually exclusive options plus a free-text path, and later questions adapt to prior answers rather than following a fixed script. Ends with a recap the user confirms before finalizing, and only then produces a synthesized answer or (when the interview clearly feeds downstream work) a written brief. NOT for open-ended ambiguity-surfacing (use socratic-method) or…
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
# Guided Interview — One Question, Concrete Options, Adaptive Interviews fail two ways: dumping a wall of questions on the user at once, or asking open questions that make the user do the work of drafting an answer from scratch. This skill fixes both — ask one question, make each option a genuine, distinct answer the user can just pick, and let every answer reshape what gets asked next. ## Mindset Every question should be answerable in one short reply, not a paragraph. The interview is not a checklist to complete — it is a chain of decisions where each answer changes the shape of the next question. Treat "I don't know" or "other" as real signal, not a failure to plan for. ## Prerequisites Applicable only when ALL of the following hold: - The user asked to be interviewed, walked through a decision, or to "help me figure out" a specific, nameable topic. - The topic has enough shape to generate concrete, meaningfully different options — not "tell me about your life" or anything too diffuse to enumerate. - Interrupting the current task to interview is not worse than proceeding directly (the user isn't mid-emergency or explicitly time-constrained). …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/guided-interview@sha256:f5a6f1ea813c7b50The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.4a8d48e, 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.
