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

# Interview Me

This skill is coordination-exempt: skip the ai-coord gate for its declared work.

Clarify what the user wants through a focused, conversational interview without exhausting every possible branch.

## Workflow

1. Extract the current objective, audience, constraints, assumptions, and already-made choices. Investigate facts
   available from the conversation, codebase, or supplied evidence instead of asking for them.
2. Ask exactly one concise question per turn in plain conversational language. Format every question turn as

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulrberg/agent-skills/interview-me@sha256:df629cfc359cff17

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.4be9b88, 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.
