What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

This skill should be used when the user asks for a "mock interview", "practice interview", "let's do a mock", or "quiz me". Runs a simulated interview with realistic questions, then critiques each answer with ratings and improvement suggestions. Only runs when explicitly requested.

Usage

/mock-interview <company name + role>
/mock-interview <company name + role> behavioral

Inputs

Which company and role (to tailor questions)
Interview type: behavioral / technical / case / mixed
knowledge/profile.md — candidate context
knowledge/stories/ — to evaluate if stories are used well
knowledge/frameworks/writing-framework.md — to evaluate structure
If available: output/[company]/interview-prep.md — prepared questions
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude/resources/ — detect the company or career path and load the matching framework. Search companies/ (e.g. amazon.md), then paths/ (e.g. consulting.md for case + PEI, pe.md for deal discussion), then general.md as fallback.

How to Run

Setup

Tell the user: "I'll ask you questions one at a time. Answer as if you're in the real interview. After each answer, I'll give brief feedback. At the end, I'll give a full assessment."

During the Interview

Ask 5-7 questions, one at a time
Mix behavioral + role-specific + curveball
Start easy, escalate difficulty
Include at least one question the candidate is likely weak on
Ask follow-ups like a real interviewer would

After Each Answer

Give brief feedback (2-3 sentences):

What worked
What to adjust
Rating: Strong / Good / Needs Work

Output Format (Final Assessment)

## Mock Interview Assessment: [Company] — [Role]

**Overall:** Ready / Almost Ready / Needs More Practice

### Strongest Answer
[Which question and why it worked]

### Weakest Answer
[Which question, why it fell short, suggested rewrite]

### Patterns
[Recurring strengths or issues across answers]

### Story Usage
[Did they use prepared stories effectively? Missed opportunities?]

### Framework Adherence
[Did answers follow their writing/communication framework?]

### Top 3 Fixes Before the Real Interview
1. [specific, actionable fix]

If Something Goes Wrong

User gives very short answers: Prompt like a real interviewer — "Can you tell me more about...?" Push for specifics.
User goes over 2 minutes on an answer: Flag it — "That ran long. In a real interview, aim for 90 seconds."
No company framework found: Use general behavioral format. Note it.

After Output

"Want another round? Just say 'let's do another mock'"
"Want to refine a specific answer? 'Help me improve my answer to [question]'"
"Feeling ready? Review your full prep at /interview-prep"

Rules

Be a realistic interviewer — not too easy, not hostile
Follow up when answers are vague (real interviewers do this)
Give honest feedback — "that was great" only when it actually was
Reference the candidate's prepared stories when they miss opportunities
