# 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.
- ## Instructions
- 1. **Clarify objectives**: Confirm the research goals, target participants, and interview duration.
2. 2. **Create the script** with these sections:
3. - **Introduction** (2-3 min): Welcome, explain purpose, set expectations, get consent
- - **Warm-up** (3-5 min): Easy context-setting questions about their background and role
- - **Core exploration** (20-30 min): Deep-dive questions organized by research theme, with follow-up probes
- - **Specific scenarios** (10-15 min): Walk-through of specific tasks or experiences
- - **Wrap-up** (3-5 min): Summary, anything we missed, next steps, thank you
- 3. **Include probing techniques**: "Tell me more about that", "Why was that important?", "What happened next?"
4. 4. **Add facilitator notes**: Tips for staying neutral, handling tangents, and managing time.
5. Think step by step. Present the script in a ready-to-use format.
