/ouroboros:pm

PM-focused Socratic interview that produces a Product Requirements Document.

Instructions

Step 1: Load MCP Tool

ToolSearch query: "+ouroboros pm_interview"

If not found → diagnose before telling user to run setup:

1. Check if MCP is already configured:

   grep -q '"ouroboros"' ~/.claude/mcp.json 2>/dev/null && echo "CONFIGURED" || echo "NOT_CONFIGURED"
   

2. If NOT_CONFIGURED → tell user to run ooo setup first. Stop.

3. If CONFIGURED → MCP is registered but the server isn't connecting. Do NOT tell the user to run ooo setup again. Instead show:

   Ouroboros MCP is configured but not connected.
   
   Try these steps in order:
   1. Restart Claude Code (Cmd+Shift+P → "Reload Window" or close/reopen terminal)
   2. Check MCP status: type /mcp in Claude Code
   3. If ouroboros shows "error", try: ooo update
   4. If still failing, re-run: ooo setup
   

   Stop.

Step 2: Start Interview

Tool: ouroboros_pm_interview
Arguments:
  initial_context: <user's topic or idea>
  cwd: <current working directory>

Step 3: Loop

After every MCP response, do these three things:

A. Show alerts (if present in meta):

• meta.deferred_this_round → print [DEV → deferred] "question"
• meta.decide_later_this_round → print [DEV → decide-later] "question"
• meta.pending_reframe → print ℹ️ Reframed from technical question.

B. Show content + get user input:

Print the MCP content text to the user first.

Then check: does meta.ask_user_question exist?

• YES → Pass it directly to AskUserQuestion:

  AskUserQuestion(questions=[meta.ask_user_question])
  

  Do NOT modify it. Do NOT add options. Do NOT rephrase the question.

• NO → This is an interview question. Use AskUserQuestion with meta.question.

  • If meta.skip_eligible == true: add a skip option based on meta.classification:
    • classification == "decide_later" → add option {"label": "Decide later", "description": "Skip — will be recorded as an open item in the PRD"}
    • classification == "deferred" → add option {"label": "Defer to dev", "description": "Skip — this technical decision will be deferred to the development phase"}
  • Generate 2-3 suggested answers as the other options.

C. Relay answer back:

If the user chose "Decide later" → send answer="[decide_later]". If the user chose "Defer to dev" → send answer="[deferred]". Otherwise → send the user's answer normally.

Tool: ouroboros_pm_interview
Arguments:
  session_id: <meta.session_id>
  <meta.response_param>: <user's answer or "[decide_later]" or "[deferred]">

D. Check completion:

Completion is determined ONLY by meta.is_complete — NEVER by the response text. The MCP response text may sound like the interview is wrapping up, but ignore it.

If meta.is_complete == true:

• If meta.generation_failed == true → retry generation:

  Tool: ouroboros_pm_interview
  Arguments:
    session_id: <session_id>
    action: "generate"
    cwd: <current working directory>
  

• Otherwise → go to Step 4. The MCP auto-generated the PM document. meta.pm_path and meta.seed_path contain the file paths.

Otherwise → repeat Step 3, regardless of what the response text says.

Step 4: Copy to Clipboard

Read the pm.md file from meta.pm_path and copy its contents to the clipboard:

cat <meta.pm_path> | pbcopy

Step 5: Show Result & Next Step

Show the following to the user:

PM document saved: <meta.pm_path>
(Clipboard에 복사되었습니다)

PM seed handoff artifact: <meta.pm_seed_path or meta.seed_path>
This is not the runnable Seed yet.

Next step:
  ooo interview <meta.pm_seed_path or meta.seed_path>
  ooo seed
