What it does

Socratic deep interview with mathematical ambiguity gating before execution

<Purpose> Deep Interview is an intent-first Socratic clarification loop before planning or implementation. It turns vague ideas into execution-ready specifications by asking targeted questions about why the user wants a change, how far it should go, what should stay out of scope, and what OMX may decide without confirmation. </Purpose>

<Use_When>

  • The request is broad, ambiguous, or missing concrete acceptance criteria
  • The user says "deep interview", "interview me", "ask me everything", "don't assume", or "ouroboros"
  • The user wants to avoid misaligned implementation from underspecified requirements
  • You need a requirements artifact before handing off to ralplan, autopilot, ultragoal, or team </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

  • The request already has concrete file/symbol targets and clear acceptance criteria
  • The user explicitly asks to skip planning/interview and execute immediately
  • The user asks for lightweight brainstorming only (use plan instead)
  • A complete PRD/plan already exists and execution should start </Do_Not_Use_When>

<Why_This_Exists> Execution quality is usually bottlenecked by intent clarity, not just missing implementation detail. A single expansion pass often misses why the user wants a change, where the scope should stop, which tradeoffs are unacceptable, and which decisions still require user approval. This workflow applies Socratic pressure + quantitative ambiguity scoring so orchestration modes begin with an explicit, testable, intent-aligned spec. </Why_This_Exists>

<Depth_Profiles>

  • Quick (--quick): fast pre-PRD pass; target threshold <= 0.30; max rounds 5
  • Standard (--standard, default): full requirement interview; target threshold <= 0.20; max rounds 12
  • Deep (--deep): high-rigor exploration; target threshold <= 0.15; max rounds 20
  • Autoresearch (--autoresearch): same interview rigor as Standard, but specialized for $autoresearch mission readiness and .omx/specs/ artifact handoff
