# Interview Questions Reference

This document defines the questions Claude should ask (via `AskUserQuestion`) before generating images with sf-diagram-nanobananapro.

---

## How to Use This Reference

When a user requests an image, Claude should:

1. **Detect image type** from the request
2. **Find the matching question set** below
3. **Invoke AskUserQuestion** with those questions
4. **Build prompt** using the answers
5. **Generate image** with optimized parameters

### Skip Interview Triggers

Skip questions and use defaults when user says:
- "quick" - e.g., "Quick ERD of Account-Contact"
- "simple" - e.g., "Simple LWC mockup"
- "just generate" - e.g., "Just generate an architecture diagram"
- "fast" - e.g., "Fast ERD draft"
