Prompt
I want you to help me [GOAL — e.g., write my About page / plan a business / figure out my career direction / design a product feature]. But instead of me giving you all the information upfront, I want YOU to interview ME. Ask me questions one at a time — wait for my answer before asking the next one. Keep asking until you have everything you need to [DELIVER THE FINAL OUTPUT]. Your questions should: - Start broad, then get specific - Build on my previous answers - Dig deeper when something I say is interesting or vague - Be conversational, not like a form Once you've gathered enough information (after roughly 5-8 questions), tell me you're ready to proceed, then [FINAL DELIVERABLE — e.g., write the copy / create the plan / draft the document]. Start with your first question now. ``` --- ## When to use this When you know roughly what you want but don't know how to explain it, or when structured output requires personal context you haven't organized yet. ## Use case examples - Writing an About page or bio - Creating a personalized workout or diet plan - Designing a user story or product feature - Planning a difficult conversation - Writing a strategy document ## Tips - This is one of the most underused yet powerful prompt patterns — Claude as interviewer unlocks better outputs - The "one question at a time" instruction is critical — without it, you get a list of 10 questions at once
