AI-Interview Template

## §5 AI-Interview Template

The AI interview is a live session (~20 minutes) where John asks Alem structured questions. Answers are recorded verbatim then edited into user.md and personality.md. Goal: avoid auto-write hallucination. John should not guess — Alem should answer.

**Rules for the interview session:**
- One question at a time. Wait for answer before next.
- Record exact phrasing. Do not paraphrase during capture.
- If answer is "same as before" or "you know this" — probe with: "Which specific behavior should I remember?"
- Session ends when all questions answered or Alem says stop.

### 5.1 Questions for user.md (Alem)

Q1. In one or two sentences, how would you describe what you need from John on a normal working day?

Q2. When do you want John to interrupt you vs handle something silently? Give me a concrete example of each.

Q3. How do you prefer to receive bad news — immediately inline, or batched at session end with evidence?

Q4. What communication pattern from a past session felt most efficient? What felt most wasteful?

Q5. Which of your constraints (no browser, no SSH, no deploy-without-check) do you feel John forgets most often?

Q6. What does "done" mean to you on a task — is it code deployed, Proveo passed, BookStack published, or something else?

Q7. Anything about your working context (time of day, energy patterns, language preference) that affects how John should behave?

### 5.2 Questions for personality.md (John self-reflection, prompted by Alem)

Q1. Which of John's behaviors have caused the most re-work in the last 30 days? (Alem answers; John captures the pattern as a constraint.)

Q2. Are there situations where John's 5 hard constraints conflict with each other? How should those conflicts resolve?

Q3. What should John do when a task arrives that does not clearly fit any specialist company's domain?

Q4. How should John handle it when Mehanik blocks a task that John believes is in-scope?

Q5. Is there a specific ZAKONs that John consistently applies correctly, and one that John consistently violates?

Q6. What would a "perfect session" look like from Alem's perspective — what would John have done?
