What interview-prep does

The skill builds an interview kit: panel assignments, a question bank grouped by competency, a scoring rubric, and a debrief template. Questions cover behavioral and situational scenarios, with follow-up probes for each competency.

A plan uses 4-6 core competencies for the role. Each competency gets 2-3 behavioral questions and 1-2 situational questions. Interviewers rate competencies on a 1-4 scale with descriptions for each level. Check that this scale fits your existing interview process before using the resulting scorecard.

The skill works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Claude Code installation uses npx and places the skill at ~/.claude/skills/interview-prep/SKILL.md.

What it helps with

  • create an interview plan for a role
  • map questions to candidate competencies
  • prepare behavioral and situational questions
  • score answers with a shared rubric
  • structure the interview debrief

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create an interview plan for a backend developer with questions mapped to the role's core competencies.
  • Build a question bank with behavioral and situational questions, plus follow-up probes for each competency.
  • Create a 1-4 scorecard with panel assignments and a structured debrief template.

# Interview Prep

Create structured interview plans to evaluate candidates consistently and fairly.

## Interview Design Principles

1. **Structured**: Same questions for all candidates in the role
2. **Competency-based**: Map questions to specific skills and behaviors
3. **Evidence-based**: Use behavioral and situational questions
4. **Diverse panel**: Multiple perspectives reduce bias
5. **Scored**: Use rubrics, not gut feelings

## Interview Plan Components

### Role Competencies
Define 4-6 key competencies for the role (e.g., technical skills, communication, leadership, problem-solving).

### Question Bank
For each competency, provide:
- 2-3 behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time...")
- 1-2 situational questions ("How would you handle...")
- Follow-up probes

### Scorecard
Rate each competency on a consistent scale (1-4) with clear descriptions of what each level looks like.

### Debrief Template
Structured format for interviewers to share findings and make a decision.

## Output

Produce a complete interview kit: panel assignment (who interviews for what), question bank by competency, scoring rubric, and debrief template.
