Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00038 | $0.00867 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
conducting-interviews 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 10d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Conducting Interviews
Help the user conduct effective hiring interviews using frameworks from 75 product leaders who have interviewed thousands of candidates at top companies.
How to Help
When the user asks for help with conducting interviews:
- Understand the role - Ask what position they're hiring for and what competencies matter most
- Design the structure - Help create a consistent, behavioral-based interview process
- Craft the questions - Suggest questions that reveal actual capability, not rehearsed answers
- Evaluate effectively - Guide them on separating signal from noise and avoiding common biases
Core Principles
Use behavioral-based interviewing
Bill Carr: "We created a set of objective criteria that would be used and an interview methodology that would be used in every interview, which was the objective criteria would be our leadership principles, and the methodology would be behavioral based interviewing." Ask for specific past examples, not hypotheticals.
Look past polished delivery
Jackie Bavaro: "Some people sounded really good because they'd say, 'Well, I'll tell you three things. Number one, number two, number three.' And then when I paid attention to my notes, I'd be like, 'Wait, their three ideas weren't actually good ideas.'" Evaluate substance over structure.
Drill six levels deep
Joe Hudson (on Elon's approach): "You ask them six levels down. You improved sales. How did you do that, exactly? Well, we improved the pipeline. How'd you do that, exactly?" True expertise is revealed by drilling into the technical and process-oriented 'how'.
Ask how they prepared
Austin Hay: "I like to ask people how they prepared for the interview. You're really asking how does the person think? How did they plan? How did they take things seriously or not?" Preparation style reveals planning depth and systems thinking.
End with 'anything else?'
Christopher Lochhead: "At the very end you say, 'Hey, Susan, before we wrap, is there anything else?' And often, the most important thing for that person to communicate comes out then." The formal structure ending unlocks authenticity.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 71 lines · 38 tokens per session scan A e47e7c52683f
conducting-interviews is a skill published in the GitHub repository cnfeat/top-pm-skills (48 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 867 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
