hr-system-design

hr-system-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tuanductran/hr-skills. It costs 62 tokens per session (721 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing interviews that assess whether software engineering candidates can plan the structure of complex systems. It explains system design concepts for non-technical hiring teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create interview prompts, evaluation rubrics, interviewer training, take-home exercises, debrief forms, and candidate guidance.
Why use it?
It helps hiring teams use consistent questions and scoring instead of judging candidates through unstructured conversations or unclear expectations.

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

hr-system-design 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 9d 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.

  4. "Create a take-home system design exercise brief with clear deliverable expectations."
  5. "Draft candidate-facing guidance explaining what to expect in a system design interview."

Evaluation and calibration

  1. "Build an evaluation rubric for a system design interview covering scalability, trade-offs, and communication."
  2. "Draft example 'strong', 'adequate', and 'weak' answer patterns for a given system design prompt."
  3. "Create a calibration session agenda to align interviewers on scoring standards."
  4. "Design a rubric section specifically evaluating how a candidate communicates trade-offs."
  5. "Draft a debrief template for capturing system design interview feedback."

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.
