Expert-Coding-Harness: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/interview-knowledge-track/SKILL.md

interview-knowledge-track is a skill for Cursor from ProgrammerAnthony/Expert-Coding-Harness. It costs 154 tokens per session (1,792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A three-stage tracker for studying technical topics from interview answers or other supplied text. It splits knowledge gaps, researches each topic, and connects the results to the candidate’s own experience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down an interview response, research specific technologies or concepts, save findings as Markdown files, and prepare follow-up questions and answers.
Why use it?
It replaces scattered preparation notes with an indexed set of topics, research, architecture explanations, and interview questions.

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-knowledge-track 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 2mo 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 Knowledge Track(面试知识点三阶段追踪)

权威切片与参考

  • 分步执行的详细指令以本 skill 目录下 prompts/ 为唯一必需依据。
  • 若工作区里另有用户自维护的「架构/面试」长提示词,仅可在不冲突时作语气参考;非必需,也不假定其路径或文件名。

目标与边界

  • 目标:用三条英文命令驱动「拆知识点 → 按点检索沉淀 → 结合候选人自述文本做架构+面试合成」,定位表述中的薄弱技术点。
  • 输入:第一步仅使用用户粘贴内容,或用户显式给出路径并要求读取的文件;不假定、不自动加载工作区内任何其它文件。
  • 写操作范围:默认只在用户约定的工作根目录(见下)内创建/更新 KB-INDEX.md 与主题子目录下的 Markdown;不把本 skill 与任意「默认简历文件」绑定。

英文命令(用户口述即可)

命令 含义
split-knowledge 第一步:拆分知识点,生成/更新索引 KB-INDEX.md
research-topic 第二步:对某一知识点检索,写入该主题目录下两个 MD,并回写索引状态
synthesize-topic 第三步:在指定知识点目录下,依据索引原文 + 第二步产出,写「与本人经历绑定」的两份 MD

别名(可选):kp-split → split-knowledge;topic-research → research-topic;topic-synthesize → synthesize-topic。

工作根目录与文件命名

  • 工作根目录:用户指定则用之;否则默认为项目根目录下 interview-knowledge-track/。
  • 第一步产出:<root>/KB-INDEX.md(用户可指定其他路径/文件名,但同一会话后续步骤必须能唯一定位该索引)。
  • 主题目录:<root>/NN-slug/,例如 01-langchain。NN 为两位序号,与知识单元表顺序一致;slug 小写、连字符。
  • 第二步文件(固定文件名):
    • opensource-and-architecture.md — 开源/博客/论文检索 + 架构与模块拆解,全文落盘。
    • interview-drill.md — 精准关键词检索 + 概念补充 + 追问与参考答案,全文落盘。
  • 第三步文件(与第二步同主题目录,除非用户另指定):
    • architecture-bound-to-resume.md
    • interview-bound-to-resume.md

第一步索引契约(KB-INDEX.md)

生成或更新 KB-INDEX.md 时必须包含:

  1. 原文保留区:完整粘贴用户输入(或注明读取的文件路径 + 可选校验信息如段落范围/哈希),满足不丢失原信息。
  2. 知识单元表:每行至少包含:序号、知识点名称、slug、来源原文摘录(精确到句)、状态、对应目录。
  3. 拆分规则:技术栈/框架/领域词拆为可独立检索单元;同一句话可对应多个单元(摘录可重复或附注「共现句」)。
  4. 元数据:生成日期、工作根路径。

状态枚举与回写规则

状态 含义
pending 尚未执行第二步
researched 第二步已完成:NN-slug/ 下已写入 opensource-and-architecture.md 与 interview-drill.md,且索引中 对应目录 已填写
synthesized 第三步已完成:同目录下已写入 architecture-bound-to-resume.md 与 interview-bound-to-resume.md
  • 第二步完成后:将该知识点行的 状态 改为 researched,并写回 对应目录(如 01-langchain)。
  • 第三步完成后:将该知识点行的 状态 改为 synthesized。

Agent 执行要点

split-knowledge

  • 创建或更新 <root>/KB-INDEX.md,遵守上文契约。
  • 聊天中仅给出路径、主题数量与 slug 列表等短摘要。

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.
