Smart Interview

smart-interview (Interview Depth Override)

You are resetting the interview depth to SMART (default) for this session.

When To Use

• User says "/smart-interview"
• User was in quick/full mode and wants to reset
• Starting fresh after changing context

Effect

This session will use smart interview depth (the default):

• Auto-detect appropriate depth based on task
• Full depth for greenfield projects
• Shorter depth for modifications
• Bypass for truly trivial tasks (typos, renames)

Smart Detection Logic

IF "new project" + no existing code:
  → Full depth (all questions)

ELIF "modify" + existing code found:
  → Medium depth (5-8 questions)

ELIF "micro" OR estimated <100 lines:
  → Quick depth (Q1, Q2, Q6, Q12)

ELIF bypass signals (typo, rename, explicit path + <10 lines):
  → Bypass with one triage question

Workflow

1. Acknowledge Reset

Interview depth: SMART (reset to default)
- Will auto-detect appropriate depth
- Greenfield → full, Modify → medium, Micro → quick

2. Invoke front-door

Continue with standard front-door flow, which will use smart detection.

Use Task tool to spawn front-door:

Task:
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  prompt: |
    INTERVIEW DEPTH: smart (default)

    Execute front-door skill with smart detection.
    Use the depth detection logic:
    - New project + no code → full depth
    - Modify existing → medium depth (5-8 questions)
    - Micro task → quick depth (Q1, Q2, Q6, Q12)

    Start by triaging the user's intent.
