concerns

concerns is a command for coding agents from noamseg/interview-coach-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,230 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coaching workflow for predicting and preparing answers to concerns that may arise in a job interview or hiring process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify concerns such as career gaps, short stays, missing skills, weak examples, or repeated rejection patterns, then rank which ones need the most preparation.
Why use it?
It turns vague worries into ranked, evidence-based issues and connects them to information from the candidate’s resume, past interviews, stories, and target role.

About the project

Interview Coach is a Claude Code-based coaching system for the full job-search process, including job-description analysis, application materials, interview practice, answer evaluation, and offer negotiation. It is intended for job seekers who want tailored feedback and structured preparation based on their own experience and interview transcripts. Its catalogue entry consists of commands, a setting, and a skill that provide the coaching workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

concerns 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 5d 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.

concerns — Concern Anticipation Workflow

Sequence

  1. Ask candidate what concerns they expect.
  2. Validate correct concerns.
  3. Generate concerns from real data — don't work in a vacuum. Pull from:
    • Resume analysis (career gaps, short tenures, domain switches, seniority mismatches — from kickoff)
    • Storybank gaps (competencies with no strong story)
    • Previous analyze results (patterns and weak dimensions)
    • The specific role/company (does the JD require something the candidate lacks?)
    • Career narrative gaps (transitions that need explaining)
    • Outcome Log (if real interview outcomes exist): Use past rejections as counter-evidence for current concerns. If the candidate was previously rejected for "not enough leadership experience" but has since advanced at two other companies on leadership questions, that outcome data weakens this concern. Conversely, if the same concern has driven 2+ rejections, it's confirmed — escalate its severity.
  4. Add any concerns the candidate missed.
  5. Rank by severity: Not all concerns are equal. Assign each one:
    • Dealbreaker: This could single-handedly end the candidacy if not addressed well (e.g., missing a core required skill, a very short recent tenure that looks like termination)
    • Significant: Will come up and needs a strong counter, but won't kill the candidacy alone (e.g., no direct industry experience, a slightly junior background)
    • Minor: Might come up as a probe but unlikely to be decisive (e.g., a 2-year-old role change, a less prestigious school)
  6. Attach counter strategies — with multiple framings for each significant+ concern:
    • The direct question: How to answer "Why did you leave after 8 months?" head-on
    • The subtle probe: How to handle "Tell me about a time things didn't work out" when they're really asking about the short tenure
    • The follow-up challenge: How to handle "But wouldn't that be a risk in this role too?" after your initial counter

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.
