12 anti-pattern definitions - Severity levels (error, warning, info) - Fix suggestions - Pattern detection logic --- ### 3.4 Engineering Validator **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Implemented in `engineering_validator.py`: - MaterialsDatabase class with fuzzy matching - AntiPatternDetector class - EngineeringValidator combining both - Constraint validation (stress, displacement, frequency) - Bounds suggestion --- ### 3.5 Interview Intelligence **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Implemented in `interview_intelligence.py`: - Complexity determination (simple/moderate/complex) - Question estimation - Recommended settings generation --- ## Phase 4: Blueprint & Generation - COMPLETE ### 4.1 StudyBlueprint **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Implemented in `study_blueprint.py`: - DesignVariable, Objective, Constraint dataclasses - StudyBlueprint with all configuration - to_config_json() for optimization_config.json format - to_markdown() for summary display - Validation methods --- ### 4.2 BlueprintBuilder **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Implemented in `study_blueprint.py`: - from_interview_state() method - Automatic extractor assignment - Trial count calculation - Sampler selection --- ### 4.3 StudyInterviewEngine **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Implemented in `study_interview.py`: - Main orchestrator class - start_interview() with resume support - get_first_question() / process_answer() flow - Warning acknowledgment - Blueprint generation and modification - State persistence --- ## Phase 5: Integration - COMPLETE ### 5.1 Skill File **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Created `.claude/skills/modules/study-interview-mode.md`: - Usage documentation - Example conversation - Integration guide --- ### 5.2 Protocol Updates **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Completed: - [x] Update OP_01_CREATE_STUDY.md with interview phase - [x] Update 00_BOOTSTRAP.md task routing - [x] Update CLAUDE.md with interview instructions --- ## Phase 6: Testing - COMPLETE ### 6.1 Unit Tests **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE All tests pass: **129/129** Test files created: - test_interview_state.py (23 tests) - test_question_engine.py (20 tests) - test_interview_presenter.py (16 tests) - test_engineering_validator.py (32 tests) - test_study_blueprint.py (22 tests) - test_study_interview.py (16 tests) --- ### 6.2 Integration Tests **Status**: `[x]` COMPLETE Integration tests in test_study_interview.py: -
