What it does
Interview is an agent skill from boshu2/agentops. Interview you one question at a time, each with a recommendation, to settle a big outcome before agents work alone. Use when: selected by name.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
The repository describes itself as: DevOps discipline for AI coding agents: shape the work, track it as a graph, and get each change judged by a context that didn't write it. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- : selected by name
Example prompts
- “/interview”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Look it up in the tracker, docs and code first. Ask only for choices
- Pick the branch. Start with the outcome, then the open branch that most
- Ask one question in this shape, so the caller can accept, amend or
- Record only what the caller decides. A skip stays open; "your call"
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bdbfed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are gherkin and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Interview loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Interview
Shape a big outcome with the caller, one question per turn, before agents run alone. You look up facts; the caller makes choices. Why: answering shapes the caller's thinking, and control is highest before launch. Interview creates nothing new (no goal, bead or file) and changes no status, claim or closure; within authority it only appends settled notes to an existing intent source (see Show the state).
Each turn
- Look it up in the tracker, docs and code first. Ask only for choices: outcome, proof, non-goals, authority, budgets, priorities, risk tolerance.
- Pick the branch. Start with the outcome, then the open branch that most changes acceptance, scope or authority. Defer any that change no decision.
- Ask one question in this shape, so the caller can accept, amend or reject in one line. Wait for the answer.
- Record only what the caller decides. A skip stays open; "your call" accepts the recommendation shown. A revision reopens dependent answers.
Q<n>: <the decision>. <the question, with 2 to 4 options when they exist>
My recommendation: <answer>, because <source or reason>.
Tradeoff: <the one cost that matters>Answerer
The caller answers by default. On request ("let a council answer my interview"), a council answers through Council's interview-panel mode; the caller accepts or amends its answers in one pass before anything is recorded, and authority, budgets and acceptance changes stay the caller's.
BDD: acceptance as examples
Drive each criterion to a Given/When/Then with an observable result and its proving evidence. Draft the example yourself as the recommendation; the caller accepts or edits it. "Works reliably" is not acceptance; ask what would be seen.
Given a Job has already completed
When the worker receives that Job again
Then it returns the completed result without a second side effect
# Proof: a redelivery test asserts one side effect and the completed resultDDD: one term per concept
When a word is vague, overloaded or has synonyms, ask which term the domain uses. Record one term with a one-line definition and use only it in examples, notes, code and tests. Domain owns deeper modeling.
Show full SKILL.md (250 more words)Show less
Show the state
Open each turn with one line: what just settled and how many choices stay open. Show these lists on request, after a revision and at stop:
- Decided: each choice; acceptance carries its Given/When/Then and proof.
- Terms: each settled term with its one-line definition.
- Open: unanswered choices, most consequential first.
- Deferred: choices that change no next decision, and what revives them.
Within authority, append settled decisions and terms to the intent source (root epic, issue or conversation), and Open and Deferred at stop. If a goal already runs on that epic, do not append a changed criterion or term; list it under Open as an acceptance change so the caller can hold and re-craft first. In BD:
bd context --json # confirm the destination before any write
bd show <epic-id> # on resume: reuse settled notes, start from Open
bd update <epic-id> --append-notes "decided: <choice> | example: <Given/When/Then>"Stop and hand off
Stop when the caller stops, the next question would only restate a settled answer, the work proves to be one slice, or Craft Goal admission is decided:
- outcome and non-goals;
- terminal acceptance, each criterion with its proving evidence;
- authority: reads, writes, external effects, Git, and when agents must ask;
- budgets: numeric limits per wave of work and for the whole goal, which nothing renews, and how many results that change no decision trigger HOLD (implementation stops for causal review);
- the first falsifiable question.
Hand over the lists; the caller starts the next step: Craft Goal for several related experiments, RPI or Plan for one outcome with items 1 to 3 and real bounds. Open items stay open; never fill one to finish.
