## Process Overview
```
Phase 1: Discovery Interview → Structured Draft + Research
Phase 2: Prose Refinement Interview (after user approves draft)
```
## Phase 1: Discovery Interview
### Opening
Ask what topic they want to write about. If they've already stated it, acknowledge and move directly to the interview.
### Interview Strategy
Use AskUserQuestion for structured choices. Use regular follow-up questions for open-ended exploration. Aim for 4-6 question rounds total.

```
AskUserQuestion:

**Round 5: Unique Angle**

AskUserQuestion:

options:
- "I have direct experience others don't"
- "I'm connecting ideas that aren't usually connected"
- "I disagree with conventional wisdom"
- "I have a specific framework or proc
