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

prep-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 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

prep-interview

Walk into the room ready. Hard rules: ../_shared/RULES.md. Question quality bar: reference/prep-rubric.md. Verb sourcing per tailor-resume/reference/action-verbs.md.

Inputs

  1. company + role (required).
  2. Profileprofile/master-profile.md (Notes / voice for tone; experience for STAR stories).
  3. Optional company briefcompanies/<slug>.json from a prior /research-company run. If present, use it heavily; if absent, run a thin sweep here (≠ a full research pass).
  4. Optional round--round screen | technical | hiring-manager | panel | final. If omitted, generate questions across the whole likely loop.

Method

  1. Region pack. Read knowledge/regions/<code>.md — US: behavioral often STAR-formal; IN: more credential-led at large MNCs. Note tone adjustments.

  2. Hydrate the company. If companies/<slug>.json exists, harvest:

    • jobSummary.dayToDayResponsibilities → likely "what would your first 30/60/90 look like" / "walk me through how you'd ..." Qs.
    • news.recentNews → 1–2 "saw the X announcement — how would you think about Y" Qs.
    • red_flags → honest concerns the user should diplomatically raise back.

    If absent, run a thin sweep: 3–5 WebSearch hits about the role + product + any recent news; no Reddit / Blind pass (that's research-company's job, not this one).

  3. Identify the loop. Map target.tracks to the canonical rounds from ../mock-interview/reference/report-schema.md:

    • software → coding · system-design · behavioral
    • product → product-sense · execution · strategy · behavioral
    • design → portfolio-review · whiteboard/app-critique · behavioral
    • data → coding/SQL · ML/stats · case · behavioral
    • quant → math-stats · research · coding · behavioral
    • finance → technical · case · fit
    • marketing → case · craft · behavioral
    • founders-office → case · ops · behavioral
    • sales → discovery/role-play · pitch/demo · behavioral
    • operations → case · execution · behavioral
    • customer-success → scenario/role-play · case · behavioral
    • content → portfolio/clips-review · writing-exercise · behavioral
    • hr → case · craft · behavioral

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.
