Can I use this for UI/UX reviews?

Absolutely. The skill specifically targets user flows, discovery, and how users will understand new features as part of its comprehensive review process.

What is the primary benefit of the Plan Interview skill?

It helps prevent costly rework by surfacing technical gaps, edge cases, and design flaws before any code is actually written.

Does this skill generate a final document?

Yes, once the interview concludes, it generates a detailed technical specification incorporating the original plan and all decisions made during the discussion.

When is the interview considered complete?

The interview ends when all major technical decisions are validated, edge cases are addressed, and you feel confident in the implementation approach.

How do I start an interview with this skill?

Simply prompt Claude with 'interview me' or 'let's discuss the plan' while a design document or plan file is active in your context.

Collaboration Tools

Conducts rigorous technical interviews to validate and refine implementation plans before the coding phase begins.

About

The Technical Plan Interviewer skill transforms Claude into a senior lead engineer who probes your feature specs and implementation strategies for hidden complexities. By challenging your assumptions with 'what-if' scenarios and edge-case analysis, it helps identify potential failure modes, performance bottlenecks, and security risks early in the development lifecycle. After the discussion, the skill synthesizes the interview results into a comprehensive, production-ready specification that serves as a definitive roadmap for implementation.
