Engineering Blueprint

Conduct Rigorous Architecture Interviews Before Coding

SorbhMay 2026

A Claude Code skill that acts as a senior architect, interviewing you about requirements, challenging assumptions, and producing production-grade specs.

Architecture Interviewing

Install Command

Run this command to deploy the blueprint to your environment.

What does this do

When you're building alone, there's no one to challenge your assumptions. Requirements start as vague ideas, edge cases get discovered in production, and security concerns become afterthoughts. You need a senior architect on your team to stress-test your ideas before you write code.

How It Works

You invoke interview-me with a requirement or file. It analyzes your input and codebase, then conducts a rigorous one-on-one interview using targeted questions with multiple-choice options. It probes gaps, pushes back on contradictions and over-engineering, and hard-blocks on security risks. When the interview is complete, it synthesizes your answers into a production-grade specification with a decisions log and implementation order. You can optionally review an interactive HTML preview with inline commenting before finalizing.

Included Skill Groups

Key Features

Deep Codebase Analysis

Scans your project structure, tech stack, and existing patterns to contextualize questions and identify constraints before the interview starts.

Rigorous One-on-One Interview

Asks deep architectural questions one at a time with multiple-choice options. Detects contradictions, probes edge cases, and hard-blocks on unaddressed security risks.

Production-Grade Specs

Synthesizes interview Q&A into a dynamic specification with all relevant sections (API design, data model, error handling, security, testing, dependency graph, implementation order).

Interactive HTML Preview

Optional visual review with inline commenting — click any section to add feedback, then auto-generate revision prompts for Claude.

Decisions Log & Audit Trail

Records every pushback, disagreement, resolution, and final decision with full rationale for future reference and team alignment.
