interview-facilitation

interview-facilitation is a skill for Claude Code from viktorbezdek/skillstack. It costs 172 tokens per session (2,509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation structure for interviews where several viewpoints question one person. It starts with broad questions, then narrows into follow-ups and specific decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning question rounds, writing neutral or probing questions, deciding when to ask follow-ups, and turning a brainstorm into a focused discussion.
Why use it?
It prevents multiple interviewers from producing disconnected monologues or asking unfocused questions. It helps balance covering many areas with exploring important ones deeply.

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-facilitation 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 Facilitation

A swarm interview is choreography, not free-for-all. Without structure, six personas talking at once is six monologues. With structure, it's a roundtable.

This skill covers the interview arc — how the swarm's questions are sequenced, how depth and breadth trade off, and how the user is given enough air to think between rounds.

Core principle

Diverge first, converge last. The first round of questions should open the topic from many angles (each persona surfacing different concerns). The closing round should narrow to specific decisions. In between, the orchestrator decides whether one or two areas need deeper probing.

The three-phase arc

A well-facilitated swarm interview has three phases:

Phase 1 — Divergent opening (one swarm round)

All personas spawn in parallel. Each surfaces their core questions, concerns, and observations. The user receives a synthesis covering breadth across all spawned personas.

This is the only round many brainstorms need. For a focused decision, opening + synthesis is sometimes enough.

Phase 2 — Targeted probing (optional second round)

If synthesis surfaced 1-2 areas of significant disagreement or critical open questions, spawn a focused second round with just the personas in tension on those specific issues.

Examples:

  • "Round 1 PM said 'ship default-on'; Skeptic said 'opt-in is safer'. Round 2: spawn just PM and Skeptic to argue this specific point."
  • "Round 1 Pre-Mortem named a critical failure mode; Operator confirmed. Round 2: spawn Engineer + Operator to work through mitigation."

Phase 3 — Convergent closing (one swarm round, narrow scope)

If the brainstorm produced a tentative direction, spawn a tight closing round to pressure-test the proposed decision. Usually 3-4 personas: Skeptic + relevant domain experts.

Closing prompt format: "Given that we're leaning toward [decision], each of you: name the strongest case AGAINST this and the strongest case FOR. One paragraph each."
