Interview Mode + Interactive Components Synergy
How the components backlog enables richer Interview Mode UX
Output
🔗 Interview Mode + Interactive Components
The Connection
The Interactive Kontask Components backlog item (fcbac75d) is a prerequisite for rich Interview Mode. Without inline JS execution in kontask cards, interview questions would be static links instead of interactive elements.
Component Dependencies
| StepWizard | Question progression with numbered steps, progress indicator |
| TabbedCard | Organize answers by category (Requirements | Tech | Constraints) |
| SortableList | Prioritize features by drag-drop |
| Inline JS | Click handlers for question buttons, answer tracking |
Implementation Order
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ FOUNDATION: Re-add Inline JS (Step 1-2) │ │ └─ Script extraction + component initializer │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ INTERVIEW MODE: Basic Implementation │ │ ├─ Interview kontask type + template │ │ ├─ Question click → prefilled prompt │ │ └─ Answer accumulation in context │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ENHANCED INTERVIEW: With Components │ │ ├─ StepWizard for question flow │ │ ├─ TabbedCard for answer organization │ │ └─ SortableList for feature prioritization │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Recommended Path Forward
- First: Re-add inline JS execution (Step 1 from fcbac75d plan)
- Then: Implement basic Interview Mode using
context.choicesbuttons (already works!) - Finally: Enhance with StepWizard/TabbedCard components for premium UX
✔️ Good News: We Can Start Now!
Interview Mode can work today using existing context.choices buttons. Each question becomes a choice button that prefills the prompt. The components backlog will upgrade it from "functional" to "delightful".
