project-interview_skill

Overview

This skill provides guided resources and a conversational approach for conducting interviews that produce learner profiles. It helps an agent gather motivations, prior knowledge, and desired outcomes so a clear persona.md and interview record can be produced. The focus is practical: capture usable facts and preferences through natural, counselor-style questions.

How this skill works

The skill supplies conversation examples and a data-template to record responses. During an interview, the agent uses open questions, listens for cues about level and motivation, and asks targeted follow-ups when details are missing. Once enough information is gathered, the agent summarizes the profile for confirmation and stores the record and persona files.

When to use it

• Initializing a new learning project to build a personalized learner persona
• Collecting background and goals before generating tailored learning materials
• Creating a persistent interview record for future project iterations
• Onboarding learners who prefer conversational, human-centered questioning

Best practices

• Begin with broad, open-ended questions to reveal goals and context
• Listen for implicit clues about experience and adjust follow-ups accordingly
• Use the interview-data template to capture answers verbatim and consistently
• Show a brief persona summary mid-interview to confirm understanding
• Keep tone empathetic and avoid rigid, checklist-style questioning

Example use cases

• A project-interviewer agent runs /init to create persona.md for a new learner
• Converting a casual chat into a structured interview-data.md for team review
• Refining a learner’s desired deliverable (style, length, format) before scaffolding content
• Updating an existing persona after a follow-up conversation or changed goals
