Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is teabagkim/claude-interview-mode's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-interview-mode itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-interview-mode configures →

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

claude-interview-mode 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 7d 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.

Project

Claude Interview Mode — an MCP server for Claude Code that turns Claude into a structured interviewer. Claude leads conversations, asks probing questions, tracks decisions, and builds a checkpoint system that improves over time. npm package: claude-interview-mode (runnable via npx)

Stack

  • TypeScript + Node.js (ES2022, ESM)
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (MCP protocol)
  • @supabase/supabase-js (optional checkpoint persistence)
  • zod (schema validation)

Commands

npm run build        # TypeScript build (tsc) → dist/index.js
npm run dev          # Watch mode (tsc --watch)

Smoke test after build:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"capabilities":{}},"id":1}' | node dist/index.js

Architecture

Single-file MCP server (src/index.ts, ~790 lines). Session state is in-memory, checkpoint/metadata persistence via Supabase (optional).

Core Design

  • Claude drives the conversation, MCP server tracks state + manages checkpoints
  • Per-session state: entries (Q&A pairs), decisions, checkpoints (live checklist), coverageOrder (sequence tracking)
  • Supabase is optional — without env vars, runs in local-only mode (checkpoints reset each session)
  • Privacy: only metadata (categories, checkpoint names, counts) goes to Supabase; conversation content stays local
  • Supports concurrent sessions via session_id parameter; falls back to most recent active session if omitted

MCP Tools

Tool Purpose
start_interview Begin session + load category checkpoints from Supabase (sorted by composite score)
record Save Q&A or decision + mark covered_checkpoints + track coverage order
get_context Return session state + uncovered checkpoints with score-based recommendations
end_interview Close session + generate summary + upload metadata to Supabase

Changes

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.
