SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Behavioral interview answers often come out unstructured, vague, or missing quantified results. This Skill walks you through turning a raw experience into a polished STAR story (Situation, Task, Action, Result) with metrics, Netflix value mapping, and predicted interviewer follow-up questions, then persists it to a reusable knowledge base. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided STAR walkthrough: Interactively extracts situation specifics, isolates what you personally owned, converts "we" to "I" actions, and pushes for quantified results without fabricating missing metrics. - Netflix value mapping and probe prediction: Identifies which Netflix values the story lands on, lists 2-4 follow-up questions an interviewer will ask, and tracks weak spots for later coaching. - Persistent story library: Writes each story to knowledge-base/stories/<slug>.md using a structured template and keeps INDEX.md in sync, with interviewer-specific variants (HM, peer, director). - Use Case: Before a Netflix onsite, you describe a messy migration project in your own words; the Skill produces a 3-minute STAR story with a latency metric, Selflessness framing, and three anticipated probes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a STAR story about a specific experience, for example: "Build a STAR story about the time I led the pipeline rewrite."

Frequently Asked Questions about star-story-builder

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a work experience into a STAR interview story?▼

Describe the experience in your own words and the Skill walks you through Situation, Task, Action, and Result step by step. It pushes for specifics like time frame, team size, and a quantified metric, then saves the structured story to your knowledge base.

How do I make behavioral answers sound first-person instead of saying we?▼

The Skill strips "we" phrasing by asking what you personally decided, wrote, or built, converting shared actions into "I" statements where accurate. Execution done jointly with a teammate can stay "we" with named ownership.

What happens if I don't have a metric for my STAR story result?▼

The Skill never fabricates numbers. If you cannot recall a metric, it marks the gap as [NEED METRIC: ...] and records it in the story's weak_spots list so a coach can push you on it later.

Can I update an existing STAR story instead of creating a duplicate?▼

Yes. If the knowledge base index already contains a story about the same situation, the Skill asks whether to update it or create a variant, and updating is the default behavior.

Does the STAR story format change for different interviewers?▼

The core story stays the same, but framing shifts by audience: hiring managers get the business problem and metric, peers get technical trade-offs, and directors get the strategic bet with downside, each with suggested time budgets.
