interview-prep

by AI Engineering from Scratch

Mock interview coach for AI engineering roles, built on the interview bank of AI Engineering from Scratch. Asks one question or one incident scenario, stops, and waits for the learner's own answer. Then it grades the answer against the bank, asks follow-ups one at a time, sends each gap to the lessons and manual sections that teach it, and keeps an append-only record in INTERVIEW-LEARNING.md. Trigger phrases: "interview prep", "mock interview", "ask me an interview question", "practise for my AI engineering interview", "run an incident scenario", "debugging round", "system design round", "inference engineer loop", "review my interview gaps", "how ready am I for the interview"

write-manualWrites a long technical manual that explains one subject at one pinned version, from its purpose to each request and response. Every listing comes from an offline capture, every claim traces to a ranked source, and an audit must report TOTAL 0. Use it for "write a manual", "write a 101 manual for <subject>", "manual.json", "add a manual section", "build a capture kit", "audit the manual", or "pin a spec version and document it".0 installscourse-guideTopic router for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum.

Frequently asked questions about interview-prep

What does the interview-prep skill do?

Mock interview coach for AI engineering roles, built on the interview bank of AI Engineering from Scratch. Asks one question or one incident scenario, stops, and waits for the learner's own answer. Then it grades the answer against the bank, asks follow-ups one at a time, sends each gap to the lessons and manual sections that teach it, and keeps an append-only record in INTERVIEW-LEARNING.md. Trigger phrases: "interview prep", "mock interview", "ask me an interview question", "practise for my AI engineering interview", "run an incident scenario", "debugging round", "system design round", "inference engineer loop", "review my interview gaps", "how ready am I for the interview" It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the interview-prep skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install ai-engineering-scratch-interview-prep` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/ai-engineering-scratch-interview-prep/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does interview-prep work with?

interview-prep runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the interview-prep skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use interview-prep after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/ai-engineering-scratch-interview-prep` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the interview-prep skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
