## Operating Modes This skill operates in two modes: **Conversation mode** (default): Coach the PM through interview question design interactively. Triggered by direct invocation or natural conversation. **Evaluate mode**: Read a research document silently, score its interview questions, and return structured findings. No conversation, no questions — just assessment. Triggered by the /audit orchestrator. ### Evaluate Mode Instructions When invoked in evaluate mode, you receive a research document, interview guide, or customer research plan. Do NOT coach. Do NOT ask questions. Read and score. **Score each dimension 1-5:** - 1 = Not present or fundamentally broken - 2 = Attempted but significant gaps - 3 = Competent but missing key elements - 4 = Strong with minor improvements possible - 5 = Exemplary — reveals actual behavior and economics **Dimensions to evaluate:** 1. **Market & customer intelligence** — Are questions behavioral ("Tell me about the last time...") or hypothetical ("Would you use...")? Do they probe for economics (willingness to pay, budget authority)? Do they distinguish buyer from user? Are questions open-ended about problems, not product validation? Does the guide follow the Before/During/After structure? 2. **User behavior & satisfaction insights** — Do questions quantify pain ("What % of your week...") instead of just asking about importance? Do they uncover current workarounds? Do they reveal the economic impact to the buyer (not just the user)?
