Unknowns Spec Interview

Interview the user one question at a time about ambiguous requirements, ordered by blast radius. Use when the user says "interview me", "do not assume", wants one question at a time, has ambiguous specs, or needs Codex to identify which answers would change architecture, scope, data model, UX, or rollout.

Unknowns Spec Interview

Workflow

Ask the few questions that matter most.

Process:

  1. Identify the unresolved decisions.
  2. Rank them by blast radius: architecture, data model, API contract, user-facing behavior, rollout, then copy/details.
  3. Ask one concise question at a time.
  4. After answers, produce a decision table and implementation prompt.

Return after the interview:

  • Decisions made.
  • Decisions still open.
  • Assumptions Codex is allowed to make.
  • Ready-to-paste implementation prompt.
  • Stop condition: no high-blast-radius ambiguity remains.

Rules

Do not ask a broad questionnaire. Do not ask low-impact polish questions while architecture-shaping questions remain. If the user answers indirectly, restate the decision before proceeding.
