What it is
Turns a topic and a hypothesis into an interview guide: five open questions ordered from context to specifics, follow-ups that ask for examples, and a note on what would falsify the hypothesis. The constraint is that no question may be answerable with a yes.
Install
Clone the repository, then copy the skill folder into your agent's skills directory — ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code. Skills are plain files: no build step, no daemon.
Terminal
npx skills add expert-interviewHow to judge it
Read the SKILL.md before you install. A good skill states when it applies, what it must not do, and how to verify the result. A skill that only lists adjectives will change the agent's tone without improving its output — skip those.
