interview-me

interview-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jscraik/Agent-Skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (593 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A short decision-making workflow for requests that lack important details. It asks focused questions, records assumptions, and waits for approval when a choice could change the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify implementation choices, constraints, approval points, and handoffs before planning or coding.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from guessing through important requirements or building the wrong solution. It keeps clarification brief instead of turning it into a broad discovery exercise.

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

interview-me 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 1mo 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.

Interview Me

Philosophy

Ask the smallest useful question, reduce uncertainty quickly, and preserve an explicit approval boundary.

When To Use

  • One or two decisions would materially change the work.
  • The user needs assumptions, tradeoffs, or approval gates clarified.
  • A downstream planning or implementation skill needs a compact handoff.

Avoid

  • Do not use when the request is already implementation-ready.
  • Do not run a broad discovery workshop when one decision question will unblock the work.
  • Do not prescribe implementation before unresolved decisions are closed or declared as assumptions.

Inputs

  • User request and target repo or artifact.
  • Evidence source such as files, diffs, issues, releases, or existing workflow state.
  • Any safety, privacy, compliance, or approval constraints.

Outputs

  • Schema-bound outputs include schema_version.
  • Decision log with assumptions and constraints.
  • Approval status.
  • Compact handoff for the next skill.

Workflow

  1. Ask one high-impact question with 3-5 choices and one recommended default.
  2. Explain briefly why the answer matters.
  3. Ask a second question only if a material blocker remains.
  4. Maintain a compact decision and assumption log.
  5. End with approved, needs-input, or blocked plus the next route.

Constraints

  • Redact secrets and sensitive context by default.
  • Do not ask broad exploratory questions without a decision payoff.
  • Do not invent constraints or approval.
  • Fail fast at the first missing input that would change the outcome.

Validation

  • Run Plugin Eval and strict skill audit after editing this skill.
  • Report exact validation commands and pass/fail outcomes.
  • Fail fast: stop at the first failed gate, fix it, and rerun before continuing.

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not use when the request is already implementation-ready.
  • Do not run a broad discovery workshop when one decision question will unblock the work.
  • Do not prescribe implementation before unresolved decisions are closed or declared as assumptions.

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.

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.
