Relentless process interviewer that extracts a complete, unambiguous plan from the user's head before any building begins. Use when the user wants to plan a complex task, design a process, build a skill, create a workflow, scope a project, or says things like "I want to build", "let's plan", "help me think through", "I have an idea for", "scope this out", "interview me", "help me figure out the process", "I need a skill that", or any variation where the user has a fuzzy idea that needs to be…
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.

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/process-interviewer@sha256:b8cbf678b17f9408The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a3b1e15, 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.
