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.

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 | $0.00091 | $0.03120 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01560 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00624 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00312 |
Grade A, and why
hiring-manager-deep-dive 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.

Hiring Manager Deep Dive
The hiring manager round is the highest-signal evaluation of whether a candidate operates at the target level. It is less about technical depth and more about scope of impact, ability to navigate ambiguity, influence without direct authority, and strategic thinking. The HM is answering one question: "Would I trust this person to own a critical workstream independently?"
When to Use
Use this skill for:
- Preparing for a hiring manager round at L6/Staff+ level
- Calibrating story depth to demonstrate target-level scope
- Structuring project narratives around leadership and impact
- Practicing follow-up resilience (surviving 3 levels of "why?")
- Understanding what separates L5 answers from L6+ answers
NOT for:
- Coding interview preparation (use
senior-coding-interview) - System design rounds (use
ml-system-design-interview) - Behavioral/values fit rounds (use
values-behavioral-interview) - Resume or CV writing (use
cv-creator) - Career narrative extraction (use
career-biographer)
The 6 Dimensions of Staff+ Signal
Hiring managers evaluate candidates across six dimensions. Every answer you give should register on at least 2-3 of these.
| Dimension | L5 (Senior) Signal | L6+ (Staff) Signal | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Depth | Solves hard problems in their domain | Sets technical direction for a domain; others follow their lead | 15% |
| Scope of Impact | Delivers features for their team | Drives outcomes across teams or the org | 25% |
| Ambiguity Navigation | Executes well on defined problems | Finds the right problem to solve; creates clarity from chaos | 20% |
| Influence Without Authority | Convinces teammates | Aligns engineers, PMs, and leadership across orgs without reporting lines | 20% |
| Mentorship & Team Growth | Helps teammates with code reviews | Develops engineers' careers; shapes team culture and hiring bar | 10% |
| Strategic Thinking | Understands their team's roadmap | Connects technical decisions to business outcomes and multi-year strategy | 10% |
What ships with it
3 files 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.
