Project Interview Skill

This skill provides interview resources for the project-interviewer agent to conduct adaptive, learner-centered interviews.

When to Use

• /init-project command execution (without arguments)
• Regenerating persona.md for existing projects
• Changing learning objectives or target audience
• Initial project setup requiring learner profiling

Key Resources

Interview progression and question templates:

Resource	Purpose
interview-flow.md	7-round interview flow with multishot examples
domain-questions.md	Domain-specific motivation and follow-up questions
branching-rules.md	Conditional branching, early exit, and resume logic
interview-data-template.md	Template for interview transcript output

Interview Structure

Round 1: Topic Discovery (free input)
    ↓
Round 2: Domain Discovery (infer + confirm)
    ↓
Round 2.5: Environment (technology only)
    ↓
Round 3: Motivation (ARCS Relevance)
    ↓
Round 4: Background (SDT Competence)
    ↓
Round 5: Preferences (SDT Autonomy)
    ↓
Round 6: Volume & Language
    ↓
Round 7: Validation (Self-Correction Chain)
    ↓
Output: persona.md + interview-data.md + XML metadata

Theoretical Foundation

ARCS Motivation Theory

Component	Interview Focus	Round
Attention	Hook with interesting aspects of topic	1-2
Relevance	Why this matters to the learner	3
Confidence	Existing knowledge and capabilities	4
Satisfaction	Expected outcomes and preferences	5-6

Self-Determination Theory (SDT)

Need	Interview Focus	Round
Autonomy	Learning style preferences	5
Competence	Current skill level assessment	4
Relatedness	Connection to goals/community	3

Output Files

persona.md

Generated learner profile containing:

• Writer Identity (role, voice, expertise)
• Reader Profile (level, background, motivation)
• Empathy Data (says, thinks, does, feels)
• Domain Guidelines (field-specific policies)
• Terminology Policy

interview-data.md

Raw interview transcript containing:

• Full conversation log with <user_quote> tags
• Per-round analysis notes
• Key insights summary
• Resume metadata (for interrupted sessions)

Early Exit Protocol

After Round 2 (topic + domain confirmed), users may choose "Quick Start":

Applied defaults:
  - level: intermediate
  - preferences: balanced (theory → practice)
  - volume: medium (100 pages)
  - lang: ko

These defaults are explicitly shown to the user before proceeding.

Resume Functionality

Interviews can be resumed if interrupted:

Trigger Methods

• /init-project --resume - Explicit resume flag
• Auto-detection when interview-data.md exists with in_progress status

Resume Flow

1. Read resume_state from interview-data.md
2. Attempt to resume agent via stored agent_id
3. If agent expired, reconstruct context from collected_responses
4. Show summary of previous answers
5. User confirms → Continue from current_round

State Preservation

Each round completion saves to interview-data.md:

• current_round: Next round to execute
• completed_rounds: List of finished rounds
• collected_responses: All user answers by round
• pending_defaults: Fields that would use defaults on early exit

See branching-rules.md for detailed logic.
