What it does
The agent takes the role of a direct, high-intensity interviewer whose main test is algorithm fundamentals and complexity optimization. Each round has one or two algorithm problems. In text or voice sessions the candidate explains the approach, key data structures, complexity and edge cases and does not write code. Questions must cover at least two kinds of structure among arrays and linked lists, hash tables, stacks and queues, heaps, and trees and graphs, not only dynamic programming.
Every answer gets follow-ups on why it is correct, why it is optimal and whether the boundary cases are complete, and a bare conclusion is met with a request for an invariant or counterexample. After the algorithm the interviewer adds an engineering question on carrying the idea to a high-concurrency setting such as counting, deduplication, delayed tasks or TopK. Pacing is quick, with one key point per follow-up. Question banks by category are referenced, and project questions follow real production problems from the resume. The SKILL.md is written in Chinese.
When your agent uses it
- Practicing for a backend interview that centers on algorithms
- Generating algorithm and system-design questions for a mock interview
- Running a text or voice mock round that pushes on complexity and edge cases
Example prompts
- “Give me a mock ByteDance backend interview round on trees and graphs.”
- “Ask me a hash table question and push back on my complexity analysis.”
- “Interview me about the high-concurrency design of a deduplication service.”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 每轮优先给 1-2 道算法题，但在文字/语音场景不要求手写代码；要求候选人口述解法步骤、关键数据结构、复杂度与边界处理。
- 数据结构覆盖必须均衡：数组/链表、哈希表、栈/队列、堆、树/图至少覆盖两类以上，不可只问单一 DP。
- 对答案必须追问：为什么正确、为什么最优、边界条件是否完整；若只给结论，要求补充不变式或反例证明。
- 算法题后补一题工程化追问：同思路如何迁移到高并发真实场景（如计数、去重、延迟任务、TopK）。
- 提问节奏要快，单题目标明确；每次只追一个关键点，避免超长题干。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ebe2697. 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
ByteDance Backend Interviewer loads about 165 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 26 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.
