interview-cheatsheet

interview-cheatsheet is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 121 tokens per session (3,618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A long Chinese study guide for preparing machine-learning and large-language-model job interviews, with explanations, formulas, code, comparisons, and practice questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study topics such as RLHF, MoE, or KV caches, review mathematical derivations, practise PyTorch implementation, and prepare interview answers.
Why use it?
It turns a narrow technical topic into one structured resource instead of requiring separate notes and exercises.

About the project

ARIS is a collection of Markdown-based skills that define a workflow for autonomous machine-learning research, including idea discovery, experiment automation, and review loops. Researchers and AI coding agents use it across tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw without depending on a single framework. The catalogue entries are ARIS workflow skills and agents.

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-cheatsheet 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 4d 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-cheatsheet — long-form Chinese ML/LLM interview prep

Generate one comprehensive Chinese cheat sheet per invocation: formulas + derivations + from-scratch code + 25 高频题. Output passes cross-model math/code review before rendering. Detect-only by default: never auto-commits.

Inputs

  • <topic> (required) — narrow enough for one 600-1000 line tutorial. Good: "RLHF / DPO / PPO", "MoE", "KV Cache + Speculative Decoding". Bad (too broad): "all of LLM training", "diffusion" (split into Forward Process / Sampling / CFG separately).
  • --effort (default balanced) — balanced ≈ 600 lines, max ≈ 1000 lines with deeper proofs and more L3 questions.
  • --byline (default "<Your Name>, <Affiliation>") — passed to /render-html --author.
  • --commit (default false) — if false (default), stop after rendering; user reviews and commits. Never push without explicit user approval.

Style guide — STRICT (read docs/tutorials/attention_tutorial.md as canonical reference)

Section skeleton (12-14 sections)

## §0 TL;DR — callout intro line + numbered list of 5-7 takeaways
## §1 直觉 — why this matters; analogy; one-paragraph mental model
## §2 核心公式 — main formula + derivation (variance / scaling / boundary)
## §3 实现细节 — 50-80 line from-scratch PyTorch
## §4-7 变体 / 工程实践 / 常见 bug — variants, comparison tables, footguns
## §8 复杂度 / 资源 — time + memory complexity
## §9 与相关方法对比 — placement in the ecosystem
## §10 25 高频面试题 — L1 (10 必会) + L2 (10 进阶) + L3 (5 顶级 lab), all with <details><summary> collapsible answers
## §A 附录 (optional) — sanity-check output, reference list

Conventions — bake the established lessons in

Rule Why Example
Heading format ## §N Title with space after §N Older versions had §0TL;DR glued ## §0 TL;DR Cheat Sheet
Math in table cells: use \lvert ... \rvert not |...| | inside markdown table = cell separator → row break $\text{score}_{ij} - m \cdot \lvert i-j \rvert$
Callouts with body list: split into callout intro line + separate list Otherwise the list's first item is swallowed by the callout, then items 2..N restart numbering at 1 > 💡 **Sampler 选择** — 按 NFE/质量排序如下。- Euler …- Heun …
Callout prefixes only: 💡 ⚠️ (others won't get class) renderer maps these to callout-info/warn/good/bad > ⚠️ **FP16 overflow** — 即使除了 √d_k …
Math: $...$ inline, $$...$$ display, $$\boxed{...}$$ for key boxes MathJax CDN; literal in source
Code: ```python fences, real PyTorch that would run reviewer will check executability
Personal-info banlist: owner's institution/lab/center names, degree-program affiliations, private server aliases, job-search context, /Users/... paths, specific lab/company names reviewer flags as FAIL byline goes via --author at render time, not in body
Language: Chinese primary, English technical terms in-place matches established cheat-sheet style "softmax 饱和", "vector field"

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.
