What it does
Source Interview Prep is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Prepare a journalist to interview a source or subject — including hostile or accountability interviews. Use when a reporter needs to prep an interview with a source, plan questions for a subject, handle an on-the-record accountability interview, or get a reluctant person to talk. Produces a question plan sequenced from rapport to the hard asks, ground-rules handling (on/off record, attribution), techniques for evasive or hostile subjects, and a capture plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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 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
- A reporter needs to prep an interview with a source
- Plan questions for a subject
- Handle an on-the-record accountability interview
- Get a reluctant person to talk
Example prompts
- “/source-interview-prep”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Open / rapport — easy, establishing questions.
- Build the record — the factual, chronological questions.
- The core asks — the questions the story needs, specific and answerable.
- The hard questions — accountability/contradiction questions, placed after you have the record (so they can't just walk).
- Close — "what did I not ask?" and "who else should I talk to?"
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
Source Interview Prep loads about 900 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 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.

- description
- Prepare a journalist to interview a source or subject — including hostile or accountability interviews. Use when a reporter needs to prep an interview with a source, plan questions for a subject, handle an on-the-record accountability interview, or get a reluctant person to talk. Produces a question plan sequenced from rapport to the hard asks, ground-rules handling (on/off record, attribution), techniques for evasive or hostile subjects, and a capture plan. Distinct from expert-interview-prep (learning from an expert).
Source Interview Prep Skill
A journalistic interview isn't a friendly chat or a research call — it's an on-the-record exchange where the subject may have every reason not to answer straight. This skill preps the interview to get truthful, usable, attributable answers: rapport first, the hard questions sequenced so they don't end the conversation early, and a plan for the dodge.
Working from a brief
Given the subject and the story, write the full prep — infer where the subject is cooperative vs. defensive and sequence accordingly. Always handle ground rules explicitly; never counsel deception or entrapment.
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label):
- Who you're interviewing and their relationship to the story (witness, expert, accountable party, whistleblower)
- What you need — the facts, quotes, or confirmation this interview must produce
- The dynamic — cooperative, reluctant, or adversarial; on/off record expectations
Output Format
Ground rules (settle first)
On-the-record vs. background vs. off-the-record vs. not-for-attribution — define them, agree them up front, and note how you'll handle mid-interview attempts to go off-record.
Question plan (sequenced)
- Open / rapport — easy, establishing questions.
- Build the record — the factual, chronological questions.
- The core asks — the questions the story needs, specific and answerable.
- The hard questions — accountability/contradiction questions, placed after you have the record (so they can't just walk).
- Close — "what did I not ask?" and "who else should I talk to?"
Handling the dodge
Techniques for the evasive or hostile subject: the follow-up that closes the gap, repeating the unanswered question, using documents/quotes to press, silence, and staying neutral rather than arguing.
Show full SKILL.md (154 more words)Show less
Capture plan
Recording (and consent/legal note — recording-consent laws vary by jurisdiction), notes, and how you'll verify quotes.
Quality Checks
- Ground rules (on/off record, attribution) are defined and agreed before the hard part
- Questions are sequenced rapport → record → core → hard, not front-loaded with accusations
- The core asks are specific and answerable, tied to what the story needs
- There's a concrete plan for evasive/hostile responses
- Capture includes a recording-consent/legal note (laws vary by jurisdiction)
- No advice to deceive, entrap, or misrepresent who you are
Anti-Patterns
- Leading with the accusatory question (the subject shuts down or leaves)
- Never settling on/off-record, then fighting about it later
- Vague questions that invite a non-answer
- Arguing with or editorializing at the subject instead of pressing on facts
- No plan for the dodge — accepting the first evasion
- Recording without regard for consent law
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Plan questions for a subject."
- "Handle an on-the-record accountability interview."
- "Get a reluctant person to talk."
