## What it does

The skill reads a job description together with your resume and returns a set of STAR stories, a list of probable questions and talking points for each past role. It runs in three phases: role analysis, story banking, then mock practice.

Inside is a STAR structure with timing for each version: a two-minute full answer, a sixty-second short one and a fifteen-second one-liner. Questions are grouped by theme — leadership, problem-solving, collaboration, achievements, failure and growth. For every group the skill points out which stories your bank is still missing.

One useful part is expanding a single resume bullet into a full narrative. A line like “led a product launch” gets broken into situation, task, actions and result. Stories built without real numbers from your own experience come out hollow, so gather the facts first.
