What it does

Interview Frameworks is an agent skill from slgoodrich/agents. Frameworks for user interviews, question design, and qualitative research. Use when conducting user interviews, designing interview guides, researching user needs, or gathering qualitative insights. Trigger on: 'create an interview guide', 'how do I interview users', 'customer discovery questions', 'user research plan', 'validate assumptions with interviews'.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/interview-script-templates.md`, `assets/note-taking-analysis-guide.md` and `assets/participant-recruitment-guide.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User research. The repository describes itself as: AI PM Workflows for Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Conducting user interviews
  • Designing interview guides
  • Researching user needs
  • Gathering qualitative insights

Example prompts

  • “create an interview guide”
  • “how do I interview users”
  • “customer discovery questions”
  • “/interview-frameworks”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start with observation
  2. Ask "why" or "what causes that?"
  3. Repeat 4-5 times until reaching root cause
  4. Stop when you have actionable insight

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b5835b. 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.

    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 Frameworks loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,341 words (~3,417 tokens).

“Frameworks for conducting effective user interviews including question design, interviewing techniques, and extracting actionable insights.”
