🎤 Interview Mode - Design Plan

What is Interview Mode?

A structured conversation flow where Claude interviews you to gather requirements before implementation. Instead of diving into code, Claude asks targeted questions, tracks your answers, and generates a comprehensive design document.

Core Concept

┌─ Interview Kontask ──────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🎤 Feature: User Authentication                       │
│                                                       │
│ ┌─ Questions ───────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ [✓] Q1: What auth methods?    → "OAuth + email"  │ │
│ │ [✓] Q2: Session storage?      → "JWT in cookie"  │ │
│ │ [○] Q3: Password requirements? ← Click to answer │ │
│ │ [ ] Q4: 2FA support needed?                      │ │
│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│                                                       │
│ Progress: ████████░░ 2/4 answered                     │
│                                                       │
│ [Generate Design Doc]  [Add More Questions]           │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Implementation Architecture

1. New Kontask Type: interview

// kontask-types.ts
export type KontaskType = 
  | ... existing types ...
  | "interview";   // NEW: Structured design conversation

export interface InterviewQuestion {
  id: string;           // q1, q2, etc.
  question: string;     // The question text
  hint?: string;        // Optional guidance
  answer?: string;      // User's response (null if unanswered)
  answeredAt?: string;  // ISO timestamp
}

export interface InterviewContext {
  topic: string;           // What we're designing
  questions: InterviewQuestion[];
  designDoc?: string;      // Generated after all answered
  status: 'gathering' | 'complete' | 'implementing';
}

2. New Template: interview

// kontask-templates.ts
template: "interview"
data: {
  topic: "User Authentication",
  questions: [...],
  allowAddQuestions: true,
  showProgress: true
}

3. UX Flow

  1. User triggers interview: "Let's design the auth feature" or Claude initiates
  2. Claude creates interview kontask with initial questions
  3. User clicks a question → Prompt auto-populates with context
  4. User answers → Response stored in kontask, next question highlighted
  5. Repeat until all questions answered (or user says "done")
  6. Claude generates design doc from accumulated answers
  7. User approves → Implementation begins

Files to Modify

konui/src/kontask-types.tsAdd interview type + InterviewContext
konui/src/kontask-templates.tsAdd renderInterview() template
konui/src/views/kontask-detail.tsHandle interview interactions
konui/src/router.tsAdd answer submission endpoint
CLAUDE.mdDocument interview kontask usage

Key Design Decisions

  • Question click → Prefilled prompt: "[Interview: Auth] Q3: What are the password requirements?"
  • Answers stored in kontask context: Single source of truth, persists across sessions
  • Progressive disclosure: Show answered questions collapsed, current question expanded
  • Claude can add questions: Based on previous answers, refine the interview
  • Design doc as kontask output: Final artifact is a structured markdown document
