anti-mom-testlisted

Audit and rewrite customer discovery interview questions so they pass the Mom Test: past behavior over future intent, their life over your idea, specifics over hypotheticals. Use when reviewing or writing user interview scripts, discovery call outlines, or sales discovery questions, or when the user says anti-mom-test, mom test check, fix my interview questions, or pastes interview questions for review. Not for large-scale survey design or usability testing.

Read `references/violation-taxonomy.md` before flagging anything. 2. Number every question in order. 3. Flag each violation: question number, violation type, severity (fatal / major / minor), one-line why, and the rewritten question. 4. Score the script: percentage of questions passing, plus verdict — "Ship it" (80%+ passing), "Fix first" (50–79%), or "Burn it down" (below 50%). 5. Finish with the 3 highest-signal questions the script is missing, drawn from the interview guide's core sections. ### Guide mode (user wants an interview guide from a hypothesis or feature idea) 1. Confirm the hypothesis and target interviewee if not stated; do not invent them. 2. Copy `templates/interview-guide.md` and fill every bracket. 3. Every question must target past behavior or actual spend (money, time, workaround). Delete any question that fails this test. ### Debrief mode (user pastes a tra
