nextjobkit: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/prepare-interview/SKILL.md

prepare-interview is a skill for Codex from farrelfatah/nextjobkit. It costs 59 tokens per session (631 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preparation brief for a job interview based on the candidate's real background and submitted application. It covers introductions, likely questions, supporting stories, and project discussion points.

In plain words
What is it for?
It prepares opening statements, evaluation themes, likely questions, STAR stories, portfolio talking points, answers about gaps or transitions, and questions for the interviewer.
Why use it?
Candidates may prepare from a general résumé or confuse planned materials with what they actually sent. This ties answers to verified evidence and flags anything unconfirmed.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is farrelfatah/nextjobkit's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on nextjobkit 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 nextjobkit 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

prepare-interview 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 6d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prepare Interview

Prepare the candidate to defend the application they actually submitted.

Source Order

  1. Read profile/candidate.md.
  2. Read the configured evidence file.
  3. Read the job listing and job-fit analysis.
  4. Read the exact submitted resume, cover letter, and application answers when known.
  5. Mark prepared-but-unconfirmed artifacts as unverified rather than treating them as submitted.

If the analysis or submitted artifacts do not exist, produce a clearly labeled draft from the available sources, list what is missing, and never imply the master resume was submitted.

Prefer artifact paths supplied by the user. Otherwise search applications/, tailored/, and cover-letters/ using the candidate slug, company, role family, and date; if multiple plausible submitted packages remain, ask which one was sent rather than guessing.

Build the Brief

Produce:

  • A 30–60 second introduction.
  • The role's likely evaluation themes.
  • Five to eight likely questions.
  • A compact story bank mapped to those questions.
  • Portfolio or project talking points.
  • Credible answers for gaps, transitions, or adjacent experience.
  • Questions the candidate should ask.
  • Claims and details that must not be overstated.

Reference the evidence entry or application artifact behind every recommended story using [Source: relative/path.md — Section]. For an unsupported evaluation theme, add a discovery question or an honest gap response instead of manufacturing a bridge story.

Story Standard

Use evidence-backed STAR or decision narratives:

  • Situation: only the context needed.
  • Task: the candidate's actual responsibility.
  • Action: decisions, artifacts, collaboration, and trade-offs.
  • Result: measured or concrete qualitative outcome.
  • Reflection: what changed in the candidate's approach when useful.

Do not force every story into a theatrical STAR script. Preserve natural speech.

Speakability

  • Prefer short sentences and concrete nouns.
  • Default answers to 45–90 seconds.
  • Include a shorter recruiter-screen version where useful.
  • Avoid memorization-heavy prose and unexplained jargon.
  • Keep quantitative details to numbers the candidate is comfortable defending.
  • Do not invent company or product familiarity. Location does not establish work authorization.

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.
