Obvious cuebid. Taking away a whole level by not cooperating with 4♥ should show a really bad hand for slam. This one is very decent, nothing to be ashamed of.

4♣, I hope this problem is not serious hehe. This hand is good enough to bid on if partner comes back with 4♦.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I don't understand not cuebidding here. You've tightly limited your hand, so tell partner about your controls.

What is 3♠?

If it is a normal cue bid then you must cooperate.

The hand here is a great hand for slam - three key-cards and a singleton - even if minimum.

I'd love to be able to bid 4♦, showing where my values. If not possible, I bid 4♣.

Partner is unlimited, hence you should make the cue.

The only point to discuss is, if you should bid 3NT (serious
/ non serious), if this agreement is in place.
But 15HCP is certainly min, and 3S spade will be based on
values most of the time, hence the single is not really a plus
factor, so I would go with the weaker cue.

Exactly!

What? No, not because of that. We cue because we have a good hand for slam.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Your hand is tightly defined ; not sure why you would need 3NT (serious/non serious). Anyway I consider this hand to be a maximum although it has only 15HCP . I see two ways to proceed : 3NT to hear a club control or 4♣ to hropefully hear partner cue bid the ♦K (since we play strong NT i have a diamond suit so I assume partner will not cue bid a singleton.
So the short answer is cue bid is a no brainer , which cue bid is a matter of partnership agreement (I guess 4♣ is the standard approach)

I'd show serious interest if I could. Two of the top three honors in my suit, with the Ace, a side Ace, decent trumps, and a spade stiff to boot? That's quite a nice hand.

I cue 4♣. If partner then cues 4♦ I RKCB. If partner bids 4♥ over 4♣ I'm happy to play there.
