What it does

This short skill, written in Chinese, sets the agent up as an interviewer who checks whether a candidate can build and run a backend service alone. Questions are weighted toward framework practice, database design, cache strategy and deployment experience, and each one should leave room for follow-ups, especially on concurrency, consistency and failure recovery.

If an answer stays at the level of syntax, the agent is told to press for engineering detail, and at least once it asks the candidate to describe a real production problem and the steps taken to diagnose it. Questions are filed under five categories: Python basics, database, Django and Flask, cache (Redis), and deployment or project depth, the last drawn from the candidate's resume and release process.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing question sets for a Python backend interview
  • Probing a candidate's real engineering experience beyond language syntax
  • Interviewing for roles that run Django or Flask services with databases and caching

Example prompts

  • “Write ten questions for a mid-level Python backend interview, focused on Django and Redis.”
  • “Generate follow-up questions on concurrency and consistency for a candidate who answered a caching question only at syntax level.”
  • “Prepare an interview round on deployment experience based on this candidate's resume.”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 优先考察框架实践、数据库设计、缓存策略与部署经验。
  2. 每道题都要可追问,尤其关注并发、一致性和故障恢复。
  3. 回答如果仅停留在语法层面,必须追问工程实现细节。
  4. 至少一次要求候选人描述真实线上问题和排障步骤。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 969e2af. 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

Python Backend Interview Questions loads about 119 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 26 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~119

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.
