# Closer Question Rewrite Plan v3

**See also:** [QUESTION_CONTENT_GUIDE.md](QUESTION_CONTENT_GUIDE.md) | [QUESTION_SCHEMA.md](QUESTION_SCHEMA.md) | [QUESTION_QUALITY_CHECKLIST.md](QUESTION_QUALITY_CHECKLIST.md)

## Product Goal

Closer is a relationship app, not a survey.

The experience should feel like a couples game that naturally creates conversations, laughter, memories, flirting, and meaningful moments.

If a question feels like homework, rewrite it.

## Repo Schema

Use these type names exactly:

* written
* single_choice
* multi_choice
* scale
* this_or_that

Do not rename them unless the app code is updated first.

## Standard Question Mix per 250

| Type | Count |
|---|---:|
| multi_choice | 140 |
| single_choice | 50 |
| scale | 35 |
| this_or_that | 15 |
| written | 10 |

76 percent of questions must be choice based.

Written questions should stay rare.

## Free and Premium Split

Per standard 250 question pack:

* 75 free
* 175 premium

Suggested free split:

* multi_choice: 42
* single_choice: 15
* scale: 11
* this_or_that: 5
* written: 2

Suggested premium split:

* multi_choice: 98
* single_choice: 35
* scale: 24
* this_or_that: 10
* written: 8

Free should feel useful, fun, and complete.

Premium should feel deeper, richer, and more varied.

## Special Pack Exception

Some packs are product-specific and may override the standard 250 question mix.

A special pack must document:

* pack id
* file name
* expected count
* allowed question types
* free count
* premium count
* required tags
* reason for the exception

Special packs still must pass tone, duplicate, option, and schema review.

## Daily Single Choice Weekday Pack

Pack id:

```text
daily_single_choice_weekly_v1
```

Current compatibility file, if the app still expects it:

```text
daily_fun_multiple_choice_v3.json
```

Recommended file name after code cleanup:

```text
daily_single_choice_weekly_v1.json
```

Expected counts:

* total questions: 500
* free questions: 75
* premium questions: 425
* type count: 500 single_choice

These counts are a special daily pack exception. Do not use the standard 250 question mix for this file.

Rules:

* every question must be single_choice
* every question must have 4 to 6 options
* every question must have exactly one weekday tag
* every option must answer the prompt
* no therapy worksheet tone
* no wellness survey tone
* no repeated option lists

Weekday tags:

* daily_monday_mood_check
* daily_tuesday_tiny_win
* daily_wednesday_real_one
* daily_thursday_laugh
* daily_friday_flirty
* daily_saturday_side_quest
* daily_sunday_slow_burn

Weekday lineup:

| Day | Theme | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Mood Check Monday | Pick what kind of day the relationship needs |
| Tuesday | Tiny Win Tuesday | Pick one small thing to do together |
| Wednesday | Real One Wednesday | Pick the most honest answer |
| Thursday | Laugh It Off Thursday | Pick something silly or low pressure |
| Friday | Flirty Friday | Pick something playful, sweet, or date like |
| Saturday | Side Quest Saturday | Pick a tiny adventure or date idea |
| Sunday | Slow Burn Sunday | Pick a warm intimacy or closeness answer |

## Daily Pack Writing Workflow

Do not write 500 daily questions in one pass.

Use this process:

1. Write 20 to 30 sample questions for one weekday.
2. Review tone before scaling.
3. Remove therapy coded words.
4. Confirm every option answers the prompt.
5. Check opening variety.
6. Check exact option list reuse.
7. Only then write the next batch.
8. After all weekdays are drafted, read 30 random questions aloud.
9. Reject the pack if it sounds repetitive, clinical, generic, or AI written.

## Emotional Mix

Every standard category should roughly include:

* 35 percent playful
* 25 percent everyday relationship
* 20 percent meaningful conversation
* 10 percent future dreams and planning
* 10 percent deeper vulnerability

Never group heavy questions together.

Every category must include lighter moments.

Daily packs should lean more playful, practical, and low pressure than standard category packs.

## Rewrite Rules

For every category:

* rewrite every question from scratch
* keep category ids unless renaming is planned with app code
* use conversational language
* avoid therapy wording
* avoid survey wording
* avoid repetitive templates
* use 4 to 6 options for choice questions
* keep written questions rare
* add fun to every category
* make every category feel different
* reject questions that feel generated

## Rewrite Order

1. fun
2. date_night
3. quality_time
4. communication
5. gratitude
6. future
7. home_life
8. values
9. stress
10. money
11. boundaries
12. conflict
13. conflict_repair
14. trust
15. rebuilding_trust
16. difficult_conversations
17. emotional_intimacy
18. physical_intimacy
19. couple_intimacy
20. sex_and_desire
21. sexual_preferences
22. daily_single_choice_weekly_v1

## Serious Category Rule

Serious categories still need warmth, humor, and relief.

Do not make conflict, trust, boundaries, or intimacy feel like couples counseling homework.

Use soft, safe, specific wording.

## Final Rule

The schema only proves the file can load.

It does not prove the questions are good.

Quality review is mandatory before commit.
