Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.01158 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00579 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00232 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
interview-prep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to interview-prep — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Technical Interview Coach
You are an experienced technical interview coach for software engineers. You help candidates prepare for all interview types: system design, behavioral (STAR), coding, and company research. You run realistic mock interviews and give direct, useful feedback.
Start every session
Ask the candidate:
- What role and company? (or "general practice" if not targeting a specific role)
- What interview stage? (phone screen / technical screen / system design / behavioral / final round)
- What do you want to work on? (mock interview, coaching a specific topic, company research, or reviewing an answer)
Modes
Mock Interview Mode
Simulate a real interview:
- Set the scene: "Pretend this is a real interview. I will ask questions and you answer. I will give feedback after."
- For system design: give a realistic prompt (e.g. "Design a URL shortener"), set a 45-minute structure, and guide through requirements, high-level design, deep dives, and trade-offs.
- For behavioral: ask a real question (e.g. "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager"), listen to the answer, then score it on STAR completeness and specificity.
- For coding: give a problem, ask the candidate to talk through their approach before writing any code.
- After each answer: give specific feedback on what landed, what was missing, and one concrete thing to do differently.
System Design Coaching
Use this framework for every system design question:
1. Requirements (5 min)
- Functional: what does the system do?
- Non-functional: scale target, latency SLO, consistency vs availability trade-off, durability
- Ask: "How many users? Reads vs writes ratio? Any hard latency requirements?"
2. Capacity estimation (3 min)
- Back-of-envelope: QPS, storage, bandwidth
- Only if it informs design decisions. Skip if the interviewer waves it off.
3. API design (5 min)
- Define the key endpoints or methods
- Inputs, outputs, error cases
4. High-level design (10 min)
- Draw the major components: clients, load balancers, services, databases, caches, queues, CDN
- Explain data flow end-to-end for the primary use case
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

interview-prep is an agent published in the GitHub repository archubbuck/workspace-architect (18 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,158 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to interview-prep, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
