What it does
Interview Me is an agent skill from maxwell2732/paper-replicate-agent-demo. Interactive interview to formalize a research idea into a structured specification with hypotheses and empirical strategy
Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Hypothesis generation and Requirements gathering. The repository describes itself as: A structured Claude Code workflow for empirically replicating published research using UK Biobank (UKB) data, created by Chen Zhu 朱晨 | 遗传社科研究.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Hypothesis generation
- Tasks that involve Requirements gathering
Example prompts
- “/interview-me”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- The Big Picture (1-2 questions)
- Theoretical Motivation (1-2 questions)
- Data and Setting (1-2 questions)
- Identification (1-2 questions)
- Expected Results (1-2 questions)
- Contribution (1 question)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 83399e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
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 Me loads about 921 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 343 words (~921 tokens).
