Example session with this skill installed
We need to update our auth to support JWT rotation. Check our security policy and existing middleware patterns, then prepare the spec and any necessary ADRs for the implementation.
- Read your context and instructions

About this skill
Stop Coding in the Dark
The Codex Spec Interviewer is a rigorous requirements-engineering skill for AI agents. It bridges the gap between a vague user request ("Add a billing dashboard") and a production-grade implementation plan that a coding agent can actually execute without hallucination or scope creep.
What it does
This skill engages in a "source-backed interview," scanning your repository's local AGENTS.md, existing ADRs, and codebase to challenge assumptions before a single line of code is written. It automatically gates architectural changes, ensuring significant decisions are captured as ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) rather than buried in chat history.
Supported Workflows
- Compact: Fast-track for low-risk, small feature edits.
- Standard: The default for bugfixes, refactors, and features.
- Deep: For complex, repo-wide migrations and architectural shifts.
Why use this skill?
Prompting an AI to "just write the code" often leads to technical debt and missed edge cases. This skill ensures your agent outputs a durable -spec.md file including testable acceptance criteria, validation commands, and rollout risks. It provides a dedicated 'Codex execution prompt'—a high-context handoff instructions specifically designed for coding agents to follow predictably.
