## What it does

The plugin turns Claude Code into an interactive technical interviewer. It asks targeted questions about edge cases and interface trade-offs before any source file gets modified. Enabling the `--first-principles` flag forces the agent to question baseline architectural assumptions before collecting granular requirements.

Once the dialogue concludes, the tool saves files into `docs/specs`: a human-readable Markdown PRD, structured JSON stories formatted for Ralph, and a blank progress tracker. The state remains intact inside `.claude`. You can pick up dropped sessions anytime.

Without setting `--max-questions`, the interview loop continues until the agent runs out of questions. When you want to discard unfinished sessions, run `/lisa:cleanup`.
