Generate calibrated interview question sets for any role and level — behavioral, technical, case, and culture-add questions with scoring anchors and follow-up probes. Use when the user asks for interview questions for a specific role, seniority, or competency, or wants ready-to-use interviewer scripts.
npx skillsify add interview-question-bankBrainteasers have zero predictive validity and salary-history questions are illegal in many jurisdictions — this skill exists so interviewers never improvise either. It generates complete session scripts calibrated to role and level: behavioral questions with STAR probe chains, technical ladders from warmup to stretch, situational cases scored on reasoning structure, and culture-add questions that evaluate what a candidate brings rather than whether they fit in. Every question ships with scoring anchors, follow-up probes and red flags, across a calibration table from junior to staff-plus and manager.

# Interview Question Bank
## Purpose
Ready-made, level-calibrated question sets with scoring anchors so interviewers don't improvise.
## Request format
User provides: role, seniority, competencies to test, interview duration. Output a complete session script.
## Question categories & rules
1. **Behavioral (STAR)** — "Describe a time you…" Probe chain:
- What was YOUR specific contribution (vs the team's)?
- What was the measurable result?
- What would you do differently?
2. **Technical/craft** — realistic job tasks. Difficulty ladder: warmup → core → stretch. Model-answer key points + common wrong turns.
3. **Case/situational** — open scenario; rubric scores structure (framing, assumptions, trade-offs, communication), not one correct answer.
4. **Culture-add (never "culture fit")** — "What environment brings out your best work?" Evaluate what the candidate ADDS.
5. **Motivation & career** — why this role, 2-year direction, deal-breakers.
## Calibration table (apply to every set)
| Level | Expectation |
|---|---|
| Junior | potential, learning velocity, fundamentals, coachability |
| Mid | independent delivery, quality, collaboration |
| Senior | ambiguity handling, system thinking, mentoring, cross-team influence |
| Staff+ | org-level impact, strategy, technical vision, multiplier effect |
| Manager | hiring, coaching, prioritization, conflict handling, delivery through others |
## Output per question
`Q | competency | time | anchors (strong/ok/weak) | probes | red flags`
## Anti-patterns to never include
- Brainteasers ("why are manhole covers round") — zero predictive validity
- Stress questions, personal/family questions, salary-history anchoring (illegal in many jurisdictions)
- Trivia-recall questions testing memorization instead of reasoning
Design the end-to-end candidate journey and communication templates: application, scheduling, prep, updates, rejection, and offer-stage messaging that protects employer brand.

Audit hiring pipelines, job ads, screening criteria, and AI-recruiting tools for bias and legal/compliance risk (disparate impact, EU AI Act high-risk rules, PDPL/GDPR candidate data). Use when the user asks to check fairness of a hiring process, audit an AI screening tool, review adverse-impact metrics, or make recruitment compliant.
