Deep Interview

Features

• Socratic questioning with mathematical ambiguity scoring
• Brownfield/greenfield project analysis
• Topological component enumeration and gating
• Progressive disclosure of requirements
• Structured specification generation

Use Cases

• Clarifying vague ideas before starting development
• Ensuring precise understanding of requirements via Socratic dialogue
• Validating clarity mathematically before committing to execution
• Gathering detailed requirements for complex projects

Non-Goals

• Direct code execution or mutation
• Brainstorming or option exploration (use omc-plan instead)
• Quick fixes or single changes (delegate to executor or ralph)
• Proceeding without explicit user approval for execution

Workflow

1. Parse user's idea and detect project type (brownfield/greenfield).
2. Perform initial codebase exploration (brownfield) and context loading.
3. Conduct Round 0 topology enumeration and confirmation.
4. Iteratively ask targeted questions to reduce ambiguity, scoring clarity after each answer.
5. Generate and crystallize the specification based on clarified requirements.
6. Present execution options (refine with omc-plan, execute with autopilot, etc.) for user approval.
