Deep Interview

Deep Interview Skill

First step of the ChainlessChain canonical coding workflow:

$deep-interview  →  $ralplan  →  $ralph / $team

Use this skill when the user's request is vague, the scope is unclear, or the boundaries and non-goals have not been agreed upon.

It writes a structured intent.md to <project>/.chainlesschain/sessions/<session-id>/intent.md which the next step ($ralplan) will read.

Usage

$deep-interview "add authentication to the API"

Inputs (params)

• goal (string, required) — the raw user request
• clarifications (string[], optional) — follow-up answers already gathered
• nonGoals (string[], optional) — explicit out-of-scope items
• sessionId (string, optional) — reuse an existing workflow session

Output

intent.md file path + the rendered markdown, plus LLM guidance asking the agent to ask the user any remaining clarification questions before advancing to $ralplan.
