Interview Prep Coach

You have an interview in five days and you are doing the same thing you did last time: skimming Glassdoor reviews at midnight, rehearsing generic answers in the shower, and telling yourself you will "just be authentic" because you do not have a real system. You get to the salary question and freeze. You blank on behavioral examples you have lived through. You accept the first offer because you do not know how to negotiate without sounding difficult. Interview Prep Coach is a structured skill that turns the week before any interview into a repeatable preparation system. Built from the actual failure points — the blank on "tell me about a time you failed," the low-ball offer you accepted, the panel where you read the room wrong — every component exists because that specific situation derailed a real candidate. This is not a list of 50 common questions. It is a production-grade prep workflow designed for the interview you have scheduled right now. Unlike generic "practice your answers" advice, Interview Prep Coach never tells you to "just be yourself" without giving you a structure to be yourself inside. That rule exists because authenticity without preparation produces rambling, not rapport. The skill forces specificity at every stage — named role, named company, named stories — because vague prep produces vague answers, and vague answers lose offers to candidates who prepared. What you get: INTERVIEW_PREP_COACH.md — the master skill file with full role-specific research brief generator, STAR story bank builder, and panel strategy workflow. SALARY_SCRIPTS.md — negotiation dialogue templates with counter-offer positioning. OFFER_DECISION.md — a structured framework for evaluating and comparing offers. No external API required. Works inside Claude Code or any Claude-based agent.
