Pre-spec intent extraction — one question at a time, each with a guess attached, until you can predict the user's answers; for when the asked-for artifact itself might be wrong. INVOKE when a request's outcome, audience, or success measure is genuinely unclear. NOT ticket speccing ([[ticket-triage]]), choosing approaches ([[design-tree]]), or any non-interactive run — there an underspecified ask is a blocker, never a license to guess.
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
# Intent Interview — find out what they actually want before building anything
The most expensive misunderstanding is not a wrong implementation of the right thing — it's the right implementation of the wrong thing. A user who asks for "a dashboard for our metrics" may, two questions later, turn out to need a list. Different artifact, different scope, different work — and no amount of good speccing or good design recovers from interviewing zero. [[design-tree]]'s interview confirms the problem *behind a design*; this skill runs earlier and cheaper, for the case where the requested artifact itself is the hypothesis to test.
## When to apply this
Interactively, when a request names an artifact but not the outcome ("build me X" with the why, the audience, or the success measure unstated), or when you notice you could not predict how the user would answer basic questions about it. Skip it when intent, constraints, and success criteria are already stated — restate them and proceed — and **never run it in a non-interactive context** (CI, a factory pass, a subagent, a scheduled run): nobody is there to answer, so an underspecified ask is written into the hand-off as a blocker instead.

How to install
mdr add prabhdeepsingh/claude-plugins/intent-interview@sha256:224f975a17a1064fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.d0dd268, 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.
