Stakeholder Intake Interview

Conduct a structured interview to capture stories for project $0.

Setup

1. Check if the project exists via project_list. If not, ask the user if you should create it.

Interview flow

For each story the stakeholder describes, guide them through scoring:

Step 1: Capture the story

Ask: "What do you need? Describe the feature or change in one sentence." Create a clear, concise ticket title from their answer.

Then call suggest_scores with the title (and a description, if there is one). If similar lists a ticket that looks like the same story, ask whether it's a duplicate before going on. Use references in the steps below: name an existing ticket at a score as the anchor ("Login page has benefit 8: is this more or less valuable?"), so the new ticket is scored relative to this backlog rather than in the abstract.

Step 2: Score benefit (1-21, Fibonacci)

Ask: "How valuable is this if we build it?" Anchor: 1 = nice-to-have, 5 = clearly useful, 13 = critical, 21 = existential

Step 3: Score penalty (1-21, Fibonacci)

Ask: "What happens if we don't build it?" Anchor: 1 = nothing, 5 = inconvenience, 13 = significant loss, 21 = business failure

Step 4: Score estimate (1-21, Fibonacci)

Ask: "How much effort do you think this takes?" Anchor: 1 = hours, 3 = days, 8 = weeks, 21 = months

Step 5: Score risk (1-21, Fibonacci)

Ask: "How uncertain or complex is this?" Anchor: 1 = well-understood, 5 = some unknowns, 13 = major unknowns, 21 = research project

Step 6: Tags

Ask: "Any labels? (e.g. feature:checkout, team:platform)"

After each story

• Create the ticket using ticket_create
• Tag it state:backlog and any user-provided tags using tag_assign
• Show a summary: title, scores, and priority. ticket_create returns no priority: take it from calc_priority, which weights the scores with the project's weights, rather than working it out yourself
• Ask: "Next story, or are we done?"

Wrap-up

When done, show all created tickets in a priority-ranked table, in the order and with the weighted priorities calc_priority gives them.
