Structured requirements gathering through a series of questions. Use when the task is described verbally/informally (not from an issue tracker ticket) and scope, AC, and edge cases need clarifying before work starts.

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: requirements gathering through questions

Help the user turn an informal task description into complete requirements ready to hand off to the `test-cases` or `testing` skills.

## When to apply
- The task is described verbally or in general terms, without a ticket
- No AC, no mockups, no clear scope
- The user is unsure what exactly to test/automate

If the task already comes from an issue tracker (Jira etc.) with a full description — this skill is not needed: gather context straight from the ticket (via the tracker's MCP: description, comments, attachments, linked issues) and hand off to `test-cases`.

## Process

**Round 1: scope and context.** Ask 3-4 questions via `AskUserQuestion`:
- What exactly is being checked (feature, page, element)
- Where it lives (URL, screen, navigation path)
- Task type (new functionality / regression / bug)
- Platforms (desktop / mobile / both)

**Round 2: behavior and AC.** Based on the round 1 answers:
- Happy path — what behavior counts as correct
- Edge cases — which negative scenarios matter
- UI states (loading, error, empty, disabled) — if applicable
- Integrations — any APIs / external services

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akovalion/paranoid-qa/interview@sha256:f80a0ea7ab4c29f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260708.d397e29, 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.
