Requirements Interviewer for App Builds
Force the model to interview you before it writes a spec or code.
August 31, 2026
💡 Use Case
Useful when developers or founders want better results than 'build me an app' prompts by forcing the model to ask the missing questions first.
📋 The Prompt
Act as a senior product engineer. Do not write code yet. First, interview me with exactly 15 closed questions to surface scope, users, edge cases, constraints, integrations, data model risks, security boundaries, performance expectations, and delivery tradeoffs for [app idea or feature]. After the interview, produce: 1. a one-page build brief, 2. a list of hidden assumptions, 3. an MVP cut line, 4. a test checklist, and 5. the exact prompt I should send next if I want implementation help. Be skeptical, concrete, and biased toward smaller scope.
