Interview System Designer

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Designing an interview loop for a specific role and level
• Building a question bank and scoring rubric for a hiring round
• Calibrating interviewers so their scores are consistent
• Reviewing a hiring process for bias before rollout

Example prompts

• “Plan an interview loop for a Senior Software Engineer with timing for each round.”
• “Generate a question bank for a senior product manager role with scoring rubrics.”
• “Review our current interview process against the bias mitigation checklist.”
• “Create a competency matrix for backend engineers and a debrief agenda.”

Requirements

• Python 3 to run the bundled scripts

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Run scripts/interview_planner.py to generate a baseline loop.
2. 2Align rounds to role-specific competencies.
3. 3Validate scoring rubric consistency with interview panel leads.
4. 4Review for bias controls before rollout.
5. 5Recalibrate quarterly using hiring outcome data.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python3

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Interview System Designer loads about 568 tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~109

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~568

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

This skill should be used when the user asks to "design interview processes", "create hiring pipelines", "calibrate interview loops", "generate interview questions", "design competency matrices", "analyze interviewer bias", "create scoring rubrics", "build question banks", or "optimize hiring systems". Use for designing role-specific interview loops, competency assessments, and hiring calibration systems.

# Generate a loop plan for a role and level
python3 scripts/interview_planner.py --role "Senior Software Engineer" --level senior

# JSON output for integration with internal tooling
python3 scripts/interview_planner.py --role "Product Manager" --level mid --json
