interview-capture

interview-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmargolis/career-navigator. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,952 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An optional interview-recording helper that transcribes the user's own audio, extracts organized takeaways, and updates a career tracker file. It does not capture or transcribe the interviewer's audio.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an interview to capture the user's audio, create takeaways, and update tracker.json, provided the user has explicitly requested capture and the required consent and retention settings are handled.
Why use it?
It turns a recorded personal interview log into structured notes while requiring the user to opt in and acknowledge that some employers prohibit recording. It also accounts for data-retention and privacy rules by location.

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-capture 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 5d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scope (§13.1)

  • User audio only. Do not capture or transcribe the employer’s side without appropriate consent and product scope—that remains out of scope.
  • Opt-in: Run this skill only when the user explicitly asks to capture/log from audio or runs /career-navigator:interview-capture.
  • Employer policy warning (once): Some employers prohibit any recording of interviews. Before the first capture session, show the warning from spec §13.1 and require acknowledgment. Persist to {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/interview-capture-settings.json:
{
  "employer_warning_acknowledged": true,
  "acknowledged_at": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "user_opted_in": true
}

If employer_warning_acknowledged is already true, do not repeat the full warning—one line reminder max.

  • Retention / jurisdiction: Use profile.md location for GDPR/CCPA framing per spec. If unclear, ask once which retention stance applies and store under interview-capture-settings.json as retention_note.

Workflow

1. Resolve {user_dir} and gate

Application data uses the split layout defined in references/tracker-schema.md — read it before any read or write.

Require CareerNavigator/profile.md and tracker.json. If missing, send user to /career-navigator:launch.

2. Opt-in and warning

  • If interview-capture-settings.json does not exist or employer_warning_acknowledged is false: print the employer policy warning; on user acknowledgment, write the settings file.
  • If user has not opted in to capture for this session, confirm before processing audio.

3. Match application

Identify application_id (or company + role) for the interview being logged. Match it against tracker.jsonapplications[] on id, falling back to each row's previous_ids. Hold onto the matched row's detail_file, contacts_file, and application label — the writes in step 5 need all three. If unknown, ask before writing tracker updates.

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.
