Prepare for a specific interview at a specific company, not just 'an interview'.

  • Asked to prep for an interview

What it does

Interview Prep is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Prepare for a specific interview at a specific company, not just 'an interview'. Use when asked to prep for an interview, prepare answers for a role, practice for a specific company's interview, or get ready for a behavioural/case/PM round. Produces a tailored prep pack — likely questions for this role & round, STAR-structured answers from your background, your stories mapped to their competencies, questions to ask, and the gaps to shore up.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/story-matrix.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Interview preparation. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to prep for an interview
  • Prepare answers for a role
  • Practice for a specific companys interview
  • Get ready for a behavioural/case/PM round

Example prompts

  • “an interview”
  • “/interview-prep”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Prep loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 498 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

description
Prepare for a specific interview at a specific company, not just 'an interview'. Use when asked to prep for an interview, prepare answers for a role, practice for a specific company's interview, or get ready for a behavioural/case/PM round. Produces a tailored prep pack — likely questions for this role & round, STAR-structured answers from your background, your stories mapped to their competencies, questions to ask, and the gaps to shore up.

Interview Prep Skill

Generic interview prep ("tell me about a weakness") is nearly useless — interviews are won by being ready for this company's this round. This skill builds a tailored prep pack: the questions you're actually likely to get, STAR-structured answers drawn from your real experience, your best stories mapped to the role's competencies, and the gaps to address before you walk in.

Not quite this? Use informational-interview-prep when it is a career-advice conversation you asked for, not an assessment; use expert-interview-prep when you are interviewing an expert to learn from them; use source-interview-prep when you are a journalist interviewing a source.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • Role & company (and the job description if you have it — pair with jd-decoder / company-brief).
  • Round type — recruiter screen, behavioural, case/product sense, technical/analytical, execution, or panel/final.
  • Your background — CV or a summary of your experience and your strongest stories.
  • Known concerns — anything you're worried they'll probe (a gap, a pivot, a short tenure).

Output Format

Interview Prep: [role] at [company] — [round]

1. What this round tests — the 3–5 competencies this specific round screens for, and how they'll likely probe each.

2. Likely questions — the realistic questions for this role/round (behavioural, case, or technical as fits), ordered by likelihood — not a generic list.

3. Your answers (STAR) — for the top behavioural questions, draft answers from the candidate's real background using Situation · Task · Action · Result — concise, quantified, first-person. For case/product questions, give a structured approach + a worked example.

4. Story bank — your 4–6 strongest stories, each mapped to the competencies they cover, so you can flex one story across several questions.

5. Questions to ask them — sharp, role-specific questions (lean on company-brief) that show you've done the work.

6. Gaps & landmines — the weak spots (a tenure gap, a missing skill, a pivot) and how to address each honestly and confidently if it comes up.

Deeper Materials

Quality Checks

  • Questions are tailored to the specific role and round, ordered by likelihood — not generic
  • STAR answers use the candidate's real experience and quantify the result
  • A reusable story bank maps stories to competencies (so prep scales across questions)
  • Questions-to-ask are company-specific, not boilerplate
  • Known gaps/landmines have an honest, confident handling plan

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not produce a generic question list — prep is only useful when it's for this round at this company
  • Do not write fabricated achievements into STAR answers — build from the candidate's real stories
  • Do not over-script — answers should be structured talking points, not memorised paragraphs that sound robotic
  • Do not dodge the candidate's weak spots — rehearse an honest, confident response instead of hoping it won't come up
  • Do not ignore the round type — a behavioural prep and a case prep are different documents

Based On

Structured interview preparation — STAR/behavioural method, competency-mapped story banks, role-and-round tailoring.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Prep for an interview."
  • "Prepare answers for a role."
  • "Practice for a specific company's interview."
  • "Get ready for a behavioural/case/PM round."
