SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Preparing for a Netflix Data Science Engineering interview often starts with unstructured thinking — framing questions, half-formed stories, quick concept lookups — that doesn't fit a formal mock, drill, or STAR-building session. This Skill provides a low-friction conversational coaching mode that captures insights continuously and routes to structured skills when the conversation matures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Free-form coaching conversation: Think out loud, explore framings, and get 2-3 angle options per question without role-play, scoring boxes, or forced STAR templates. - Continuous knowledge-base capture: Verbatim quotes, story seeds, gaps, and culture-resonance updates are persisted to knowledge-base/ files with single-line confirmations. - Routing to structured skills: When a conversation matures into a story, mock, drill, or formal answer review, the coach offers a route to star-story-builder, answer-gap-analyzer, interview-* mocks, or netflix-scenario-drill. - Session logging: Auto-writes a re-readable session log to interviews/coach-chat-<date>-<NN>.md with frameworks taught, story walkthroughs, and prioritized follow-ups. - Use Case: You ask "how should I frame my semantic-layer work for the product-sense round?" and receive three framings tied to specific interviewers, then get routed to a STAR session once the story solidifies. ## Quick Start Ask the coach to talk through how you should frame one of your past projects for a Netflix interviewer.

Frequently Asked Questions about coach-chat

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice interview answers without a formal mock interview?▼

Use a free-form coaching conversation where you verbally rehearse answers and receive conversational reactions instead of scoring boxes. The coach reflects back what landed, flags weak points, and offers formal scoring through a separate answer-review skill only if you ask.

How should I frame my project experience for a Netflix interview?▼

Ask the coach for framing options and you receive 2-3 distinct angles, each tied to a specific round, interviewer, or culture value such as product sense, DE depth, or strategic bets. You pick the framing that fits your target round rather than getting a single prescribed answer.

When should I use coach-chat instead of a mock interview or drill?▼

Use coach-chat for thinking out loud, framing questions, quick concept lookups, and casual reflection. Route to mock skills for role-play, scenario drills for rapid-fire practice, STAR builders for story structure, and answer-gap-analyzer for formal scoring.

Does the coaching conversation get saved for later review?▼

Yes, sessions auto-log to interviews/coach-chat-<date>-<NN>.md by default, capturing the session arc, frameworks taught, story walkthroughs, and prioritized follow-ups. Logging is skipped only for trivial one-turn lookups or when you explicitly opt out.

What happens to insights and quotes shared during a coaching chat?▼

Substantive turns are scanned for verbatim quotes, story seeds, gaps, and culture-value framings, which are persisted to knowledge-base files like scripted-answers.md and gaps.md. Each write is confirmed with a single-line message rather than a full diff.
