questions

questions is a command for Claude Code from noamseg/interview-coach-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview-coaching command that creates five useful questions for a candidate to ask. It adapts the questions to the interview stage and explains what each question is meant to uncover.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare questions for recruiter calls, hiring-manager interviews, and later interview rounds, along with likely follow-up preparation.
Why use it?
It prevents candidates from asking generic questions or leaving preparation until the last minute. It connects each question to goals such as learning about the role, addressing concerns, standing out, or building rapport.

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

questions 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

questions — Questions To Ask Workflow

Generate 5 questions with clear intent, interviewer fit, and follow-up preparation. Questions are strategic tools, not afterthoughts. Each question should serve at least one purpose:

  • Information gathering: Surface something the candidate needs to know to evaluate the role
  • Concern mitigation: Indirectly demonstrate a strength that addresses a known concern
  • Differentiation: Show depth of thinking that makes the candidate memorable
  • Rapport building: Connect with the interviewer's specific interests or background

Stage Adaptation

Adapt questions to where the candidate is in the interview loop:

  • Phone screen / recruiter call: Focus on logistics, role clarity, and process. "What does success look like in the first 90 days?" Don't ask deep strategic questions — save those.
  • Hiring manager round: Focus on team dynamics, priorities, and how they evaluate. "What's the biggest challenge the team is facing right now?" A powerful technique: reverse the high-signal question themes that experienced interviewers use to evaluate candidates (compiled from 150+ hiring leaders via Lenny's Podcast — see prep.md High-Signal Question Patterns). Instead of being asked "Tell me about a time things didn't go as planned," ask the hiring manager: "What's the most recent thing that didn't go as planned on the team, and how did the team handle it?" This demonstrates depth, creates conversational symmetry, and surfaces genuine information about team culture.
  • Final round / exec: Focus on company direction, strategic bets, and culture. "What's the most important thing this team needs to get right in the next year?"
  • Peer round: Focus on collaboration, day-to-day, and honest experience. "What's something you wish you'd known before joining?"

Stage detection logic (in priority order):

  1. If the user specified a stage in the command (e.g., questions hiring manager), use that.
  2. If coaching_state.md has an active Interview Loop for a company with a known next round, use that stage.
  3. If a prep brief was recently generated, infer from the format identified there.
  4. If none of the above, ask: "What stage is this for? Phone screen, hiring manager, final round, or peer interview? The questions I generate will be very different depending on who you're talking to."

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.
