What is interview-prep-template CLAUDE.md?

A set of instructions for maintaining an interview-preparation wiki that turns raw notes and recordings into reusable answers and concepts. A wiki is an organized collection of linked pages.

Adding interview notes, processing them into markdown pages, querying the resulting knowledge base, and checking for missing or outdated information.

It separates untouched source material from the synthesized wiki, making preparation knowledge easier to maintain and reuse.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.04480	$0.04480
Opus 5.5	$0.01792	$0.01792

Security

Grade A, and why

interview-prep-template CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to interview-prep-template AGENTS.md — 4 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.

CLAUDE.md — Interview Prep Wiki

Purpose

A personal interview prep wiki on a three-layer system (Karpathy's pattern):

Layer 1 — sources/: raw material you drop in (mock-interview recordings & transcripts, real-interview & career-chat notes, reading, project descriptions). Content is immutable — you own it, I never edit it. An unprocessed file lives directly in its source folder (e.g. sources/projects/); once I've mined it, I move it into that folder's processed/ subfolder.
Layer 2 — wiki/: LLM-maintained markdown synthesizing the sources into reusable answers, frameworks, and concepts. I (the LLM) own this entirely.
Layer 3 — this file: how I operate the wiki.

The loop: you drop materials into sources/; I lift the durable content into wiki/ and move the source into processed/; you query me and I answer from the wiki. On lint I flag gaps and stale claims. The wiki is the persistent, compounding artifact.

Targets: interviews for [replace with your target functions — e.g. product management, GTM strategy & operations, engineering] across [N] companies.

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.
