/interview-guide

Purpose

/interview-guide produces a structured, bias-reducing interview guide derived from a role's job description. It generates per-competency question banks (behavioral preferred, hypothetical only with justification), per-question rubrics with strong/adequate/weak anchors, panel-role question assignment, a calibration and scoring protocol, a jurisdiction-specific forbidden-question register, and a proxy-laden rapport scanner that flags well-intentioned questions which leak protected-class signals. It is a drafting and triage aid, not HR advice, not employment-law advice, and not a candidate-scoring system.

Design thesis (one sentence). Structured interviews raise predictive validity AND reduce bias simultaneously; unstructured interviews have near-zero predictive validity and actively produce bias. This skill operationalizes structured interviewing, which is the single highest-leverage bias reducer in hiring that a product organization can install without inventing new methodology (Schmidt & Hunter 1998 meta-analysis; Levashina et al. 2014 structured interview review; EEOC structured-interview technical assistance — all public findings).

What it IS: a structured first pass that produces an interview guide a hiring manager, recruiter, and panel can review, calibrate on, and use, with every evaluation dimension grounded in the specific JD's essential functions, and every legally risky question flagged before the panel ever sees it.

What it is NOT: an Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) under NYC Local Law 144 (it generates a guide, not a candidate score), a candidate scorecard, a resume screener, a reference-check template, a compensation discussion script, or a substitute for employment counsel on jurisdiction-specific forbidden-question edge cases.

This skill is governed by hr-ai-governance pack v1.0.1. Every guide generation run inherits the proxy register (Section 3.2), the audit log schema (Section 4.1), the AEDT neutral-source-faithful-language bright line (Section 6.2 #8), and the jurisdiction matrix (Section 8.1) from the pack. See the Pack Inheritance section below for the exact dependency map.
