Interview Script

This generates structured user interview scripts following UX research best practices from Steve Portigal and Erika Hall. You get a complete five-section script (intro, warm-up, core exploration, scenarios, wrap-up) with timing guidelines, JTBD-style probing questions, and facilitator notes on staying neutral and managing tangents. It's built for qualitative research and avoids the usual pitfalls like leading questions or yes/no traps. Handy if you're doing user interviews semi-regularly and want consistency without starting from scratch each time. The funnel approach (broad context before specific features) keeps conversations flowing naturally rather than jumping straight into product questions.

Interview Script

Create a structured user interview script for qualitative research.

Context

You are a senior UX researcher preparing an interview script for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (personas, research goals, product context), read them first.

Domain Context

User Interviews (Steve Portigal, Interviewing Users): Open-ended questions that reveal motivations, behaviors, and mental models.
Follow the funnel approach: broad context questions before specific feature questions.
Use JTBD probing: When did you last...? What were you trying to accomplish? What happened next?
Avoid leading questions, hypotheticals, and yes/no questions.
