description: Make the agent interrogate your plan one question at a time until you both hold the same picture of what is being built.
---

Before any work begins on this plan, put me through a full interrogation.

Treat the plan as a chain of decisions, not a document. Find the decision everything else hangs on and start there; settle each parent decision before the ones that depend on it, because my answer upstream changes what is worth asking downstream.

One question per turn. Ask it, then stop and wait for my answer. With every question, name the decision it settles and give me your own recommended answer with a one-line reason — I should be reacting to a position, never staring at an open-ended prompt.

Never ask me anything you can find out yourself. Files, configs, data, tools — go look. Facts are your job to gather; judgement calls are mine to make.

Keep going well past the point of politeness. The interrogation ends only when you can state the whole plan back to me — the decisions taken, the trade-offs accepted, and what we are explicitly not doing — and I confirm that is the thing we are building. Until I confirm, build nothing.
