Interview Prep Generator

Create research documents that help the user walk into an interview with company context and pre-mapped case studies.

When to Trigger

• User explicitly asks for interview prep
• User moves a role to interviewing stage
• User says they have a phone screen or interview coming up

Workflow

1. Read profile.yaml and tracker.yaml

2. Find the application matching the company name:

   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tracker.js find --company "Company Name"
   

   If multiple roles are returned for the same company, list them with role titles and stages and ask which one:

   I found two roles at Google:

   1. Staff Engineer (maybe)
   2. Engineering Manager (interviewing)

   Which one are you prepping for?

3. Get file paths for the chosen application:

   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tracker.js paths --id <id>
   

   This returns company_dir, role_dir, and current file locations.

4. If a JD exists (check has_jd from paths output), read it. If not, ask the user for the job posting URL and fetch it.

5. Read the user's evidence: fetch resume URL if provided, read portfolio URLs, read additional context.

6. Generate the two documents below.

7. Save files to the company structure:

   • Company Overview → {company_dir}/overview.md (shared across roles at this company)
   • Interview Prep → {role_dir}/prep.md (role-specific) Create directories with mkdir -p if they don't exist.

8. Update the application's stage to interviewing in tracker.yaml if it isn't already.

9. Show the user what was created. After saving, present the documents inline:

   Company Overview — {company_dir}/overview.md {Show a 3-4 line summary of what the overview covers}

   Interview Prep — {role_dir}/prep.md {Show a 3-4 line summary: number of topics covered, key areas, questions to ask}

   Read the full docs in {company_dir}/ or click the links on your board.
