Hermes Field Kit adds an open-source skill for interviewing users before starting a task

Hermes Field Kit adds an open-source interview-me skill that makes an agent ask for context before starting work.
- It checks files, notes, and tools first.
- It asks one high-value question at a time.
- It separates facts, assumptions, constraints, preferences, and unknowns.
- It stops asking once more answers would not change the next step.
- It produces a clean decision brief and saves nothing to memory without explicit approval.
The suggested trigger phrases are things like “Interview me before you start” and “Help me turn this rough idea into a decision brief.” The pitch is to replace prompt ping-pong with a clearer intake process before execution.
