project-implement:no-interview

What this skill does

# Project Runner: No-Interview Mode

This skill runs the exact same workflow as `project-implement`, but with the interview phase
set to auto-select mode. The interviewer agent will still generate questions and pick the
best recommended answer for each one, writing a full interview transcript — but it won't
prompt the user for input.

The user's request: **"$ARGUMENTS"**

Follow every phase below in exact order. Do NOT skip phases. Do NOT move to the next phase until
the current phase is fully complete. This is expected to be a long-running process.

---

## PHASE 1: Project Setup

Create the project workspace. Do this directly (no agent needed).

1. **Check for existing projects:** Use Glob to find `projects/*/` directories. Find the highest
   existing project number. If no projects exist, start at 001.

2. **Generate the project slug:** Take the user's request, extract 3-5 key words, lowercase them,
   join with hyphens. Example: "build a REST API for a todo app" → "rest-api-todo-app"

3. **Create the project directory:**
   ```
   projects/NNN-slug/
   ```

4. **Write `request.md`:** Save the user's full request exactly as provided:
   ```markdown
   # Project Request

   $ARGUMENTS
   ```

5. **Write `status.md`:** Initialize the project status tracker:
   ```markdown
   # Project Status

   ## Current Phase
   exploration

   ## Progress
   - [x] Phase 1: Project Setup
   - [ ] Phase 2: Exploration
   - [ ] Phase 3: Interview (auto-select)
   - [ ] Phase 4: Planning
   - [ ] Phase 5: Milestone Creation
   - [ ] Phase 6: Milestone Verification
   - [ ] Phase 7: Task Creation
   - [ ] Phase 8-10: Implementation Swarm

   ## Interview Mode
   auto-select (no user interaction)

   ## Project Path
   projects/NNN-slug/
   ```

6. **Tell the user** the project has been created in no-interview mode and what happens next.

**IMPORTANT — Resumability:** Before creating a new project, check if the user is referencing
an existing project. If `status.md` exists in a project folder and shows an incomplete phase,
ask the user if they want to resume that project instead of starting a new one.

---

## PHASE 2: Exploration

Launch the **pr-explorer** agent to explore the repository.

1. Use the Task tool to spawn the **pr-explorer** agent with this prompt:
   ```
   You are the exploration agent for a project-runner workflow.

   Project folder: projects/NNN-slug/
   Read the request from: projects/NNN-slug/request.md

   Explore the repository thoroughly and write your findings to:
   projects/NNN-slug/initial-findings.md

   Follow the exploration checklist in your system prompt. Be thorough.
   ```

2. Wait for the explorer to complete.

3. Update `status.md`: mark Phase 2 complete, set current phase to "interview".

4. Tell the user: "Exploration complete. Auto-selecting interview answers..."

---

## PHASE 3: Interview (Auto-Select)

Launch the **pr-interviewer** agent with `no-interview: true`. This still runs as a
**FOREGROUND** agent since it needs to write files, but it will NOT prompt the user.

1. Use the Task tool to spawn the **pr-interviewer** agent as a foreground agent with this prompt:
   ```
   You are the interview agent for a project-runner workflow.

   no-interview: true

   Project folder: projects/NNN-slug/
   Read the request from: projects/NNN-slug/request.md
   Read the findings from: projects/NNN-slug/initial-findings.md

   AUTO-SELECT MODE: Do NOT use AskUserQuestion. Instead, generate all interview questions
   as you normally would, then select the recommended answer for each one yourself.
   Write the full transcript to: projects/NNN-slug/interview.md

   Follow your interview protocol but auto-select the recommended option for every question.
   Mark each answer with [auto-selected] in the transcript.
   ```

2. Wait for the interviewer to complete.

3. Update `status.md`: mark Phase 3 complete, set current phase to "planning".

4. Tell the user: "Interview auto-completed. Creating the high-level plan..."

---

## PHASE 4: Planning

Launch the **pr-planner** agent to create the strategic plan.

1. Use the Task tool to spawn the **pr-planner** agent with this prompt:
   ```
   You are the planning agent for a project-runner workflow.

   Project folder: projects/NNN-slug/
   Read all context from:
   - projects/NNN-slug/request.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/initial-findings.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/interview.md

   Create a comprehensive high-level plan and write it to:
   projects/NNN-slug/plan.md

   Note: The interview was conducted in auto-select mode — answers were chosen by the
   interviewer agent, not the user. Use them as reasonable defaults but be aware the user
   may have different preferences for some decisions.

   Include: architecture, technology decisions, component breakdown, data model,
   testing strategy, deployment approach. Do NOT create milestones or tasks yet.
   ```

2. Wait for the planner to complete.

3. Update `status.md`: mark Phase 4 complete, set current phase to "milestone-creation".

4. Tell the user: "Plan created. Breaking down into milestones and tasks..."

---

## PHASE 5: Milestone Creation

Launch the **pr-milestone-creator** agent to decompose the plan into milestones.

1. Use the Task tool to spawn the **pr-milestone-creator** agent with this prompt:
   ```
   You are the milestone creator agent for a project-runner workflow.

   Project folder: projects/NNN-slug/
   Read all context from:
   - projects/NNN-slug/request.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/initial-findings.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/interview.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/plan.md

   Create individual milestone files in the project folder:
   - projects/NNN-slug/001-milestone-slug.md
   - projects/NNN-slug/002-milestone-slug.md
   - etc.

   Each milestone file contains all its tasks inline. Follow the exact format from your
   system prompt. Be exhaustive — every requirement must be covered. Leave no gaps.
   Everything must be production-ready.
   ```

2. Wait for the milestone creator to complete.

3. Update `status.md`: mark Phase 5 complete, set current phase to "milestone-verification".

4. Tell the user: "Milestones created. Verifying completeness..."

---

## PHASE 6: Milestone Verification (loops until pass)

Launch the **pr-milestone-verifier** agent. If it finds issues, it fixes them and re-verifies.

1. Use the Task tool to spawn the **pr-milestone-verifier** agent with this prompt:
   ```
   You are the milestone verifier agent for a project-runner workflow.

   Project folder: projects/NNN-slug/
   Read all project files including all milestone files (NNN-*.md pattern).

   Verify completeness, correctness, and consistency. If you find ANY issues:
   1. Fix them directly in the milestone files
   2. Re-run your full verification checklist
   3. Repeat until ALL checks pass

   Write your verification report to: projects/NNN-slug/verification.md
   The final status in verification.md MUST be "PASS".
   ```

2. Wait for the verifier to complete.

3. Read `verification.md` and confirm it says "PASS". If it doesn't, re-launch the verifier.

4. Update `status.md`: mark Phase 6 complete, set current phase to "task-creation".

5. Tell the user: "Milestones verified. Creating task list..."

---

## PHASE 7: Task Creation

Parse the milestone files and create tasks using the TaskCreate tool. Do this directly.

1. **Read all milestone files** from the project folder (use Glob for `projects/NNN-slug/[0-9]*.md`).

2. **Parse each milestone** to extract tasks. For each task found:
   - Call `TaskCreate` with:
     - `subject`: "Task N.M: [Task Title]"
     - `description`: The full task description and acceptance criteria
     - `activeForm`: "[Task Title] — implementing"

3. **Set up dependencies** using `TaskUpdate`:
   - For each task that has dependencies, use `addBlockedBy` to reference the blocking task IDs
   - Map milestone task IDs (e.g., "Task 2.3") to the TaskCreate IDs

4. **Update `status.md`:**
   - Record total task co
