Use a structured interview approach that walks every branch of the design decision tree one question at a time. Each question comes with a recommended answer, and dependencies between decisions are resolved sequentially until shared understanding is reached.

Validate design decisions by being interviewed relentlessly about each aspect of the plan, resolving dependencies between decisions one by one. Questions answerable from the codebase are resolved by exploring the code directly rather than asking the user.

Use it during assessment, planning, or design phases when you want to expose hidden assumptions before execution. It is triggered when you ask to be grilled on a plan or want to stress-test a design.

Yes. When a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, the skill investigates the code directly instead of asking the user, keeping the interview focused on decisions only the user can make.

Interview-based validation depends on the quality of the questions and the user's answers; it cannot execute or test the plan itself. It complements, but does not replace, automated testing and migration validation phases.
