What it does

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Interview preparation. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c19cefe. 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 Master loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~74k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,665 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,665 words (~3,560 tokens).
“Complete interview support - before, during practice, and after.”
- name
- interview-master
- tags
- interview, preparation, mock, practice, rejection, coaching, star, ageism, age-discrimination, overqualified
