Same CLI-dedupe task produced a bare 6-line notes file at baseline vs. a spec with explicit acceptance criteria, 6 edge cases (unicode case-folding, streaming memory limits, CRLF handling) and an out-of-scope section once the skill's branch-by-branch interview format was followed.

What Interview To Spec does
Runs a branch-by-branch interview covering goal, behaviors, acceptance criteria, edge cases and out-of-scope, then writes the result to spec/<slug>.md. Triggers on phrases like 'let's spec this out', 'draft the spec', or 'what should we build', and pauses to ask the user to pick one feature if the scope turns out to be multiple independent features.
