Collecting a batch of answers from the user in chat is awkward when the replies are long-form or benefit from editing, and there was no repeatable way to hand a set of questions off to the user's editor and read the answers back. Add an `interview-pane` skill that writes questions to a Markdown file with inline `> ANSWER:` blocks, opens it in vim/nvim in a new pane in the user's own tmux session, waits for the editor to close, then reads the answers back. A `watch-editor.sh` helper does an appear-then- disappear poll so it never falsely reports the editor closed before it has spawned, and matches on an `n?vim .*<basename>` pattern so it tracks the right process. The SKILL.md documents the hard-won caveats from a live session: use the user's default tmux socket (not the isolated `-L agent` one they can't see), run socket-touching `tmux` commands with the sandbox disabled, and treat split orientation (`-v` top/bottom vs `-h` side-by-side) as an explicit parameter. Empty/unchanged files are reported honestly rather than fabricated, and the flow is safe to re-run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
