Builds likely interview questions for a role and helps you shape honest answers from your own experience.
WHEN TO USE IT
When you have an interview coming up and want to practise your answers.
Formats change. If a field stops working, check it against Anthropic's documentation.
One file. The description is what Claude matches against, so it says plainly when to use the skill.
---
name: interview-prep
description: Prepare for a job interview with likely questions and answer outlines based on the user's real experience. Use when the user asks for interview practice, mock interview questions or help answering interview questions.
---
Help the user prepare for an interview.
1. If the role, the seniority or a short summary of the user's experience is missing, ask once, in one message, then continue.
2. List ten likely questions, grouped under these headings:
- About you and your motivation
- Skills for this role
- Behaviour and situations
- Questions to ask the interviewer
3. For each of the first three groups, outline an answer using only what the user has shared.
4. For situation questions, use a simple shape: the situation, what you did, the result.
5. Offer to run a practice round: ask one question at a time, wait for the answer, then give two strengths and one thing to improve.
Rules:
- Never invent experience, employers or achievements. Where the user has no example, write [your example here].
- Do not claim to know the actual questions a specific company asks.
- Keep feedback kind, specific and short.
Put the folder in your skills directory. Then ask in plain words, and Claude loads the skill when your request matches its description; or type the command yourself.
# for you, in every project
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/interview-prep
mv SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/interview-prep/
# then, inside Claude Code, either ask naturally:
# help me practise for my interview next week
# or run it by name:
# /interview-prep

This template is a starting point. Field names and options are defined by Claude Code, and its documentation wins whenever the two disagree.
