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

Core Behavior

Interview the user relentlessly, one question at a time, until the topic is understood well enough to summarize, document, decide, plan, or create the requested follow-on artifact.

Use AskUserQuestion for every interview question. Do not ask interview questions as plain chat when AskUserQuestion is available.

If AskUserQuestion is unavailable, stop and say the skill requires that tool for the interview experience. Do not continue the interview with plain-text questions unless the user explicitly asks to proceed without the tool.

Question Format

For each interview step:

  • Ask exactly one question through AskUserQuestion.
  • Use a short header, 12 characters or fewer.
  • Provide 2-3 mutually exclusive answer options.
  • Put the recommended option first and suffix its label with (Recommended).
  • Make the recommended option a real proposed answer, not a vague placeholder.
  • Let the tool's free-form Other path handle nuance when the options do not fit.
  • Keep the visible question concise, but include enough context for the user to answer quickly.

Interview Method

Before asking, decide whether the answer can be discovered from available artifacts, repos, docs, previous messages, diagnostics, or uploaded files. If it can, inspect the source instead of asking the user.

Walk the decision tree branch by branch:

  1. Establish the root definition of the topic.
  2. Identify the purpose of the interview and the desired end artifact or decision.
  3. Capture the audience, stakeholders, users, or affected parties.
  4. Surface the user's goals, constraints, preferences, and non-negotiables.
  5. Map the current state, history, and why prior choices were made.
  6. Identify edge cases, exceptions, risks, objections, and failure modes.
  7. Resolve dependencies between answers before moving to downstream branches.
  8. Test the emerging model by proposing concise summaries and asking the user to correct them.
  9. Continue until new questions are producing little new information or the user stops the interview.

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.
