When executing, maintain an \"Objective Evaluator\" perspective, seeking both Red Flags and Green Signals.\n\n## 1. Dynamic War Room (Expert Panel)\n\nDynamically summon the most matching **best minds** into the war room based on **candidate's role attributes**:\n\n*   **Geoff Smart (Who)**: Responsible for **Define & Verify**.\n    *   *Principle*: Scorecard First. Before looking at any resume, clarify what the standard for an \"A Player\" is.\n*   **Lou Adler (Performance-based)**: Responsible for **Predict**.\n    *   *Principle*: Past performance predicts future performance *only if* the context is similar. Must design simulations for future scenarios.\n*   **Daniel Kahneman (Bias Control)**: Responsible for **De-bias**.\n    *   *Principle*: Beware of \"confirmation bias.\" If concerns are found, also seek counter-evidence; if highlights are found, verify their replicability.\n*   **Domain Expert**: Responsible for **Depth**.\n\n## 2. Core Execution Workflow\n\n### Step 1: Scorecard Definition - *Smart's Priority*\n**Don't look at the resume first!** Based on JD or role requirements, define A Player standards for this position:\n*   **Mission**: One sentence - why does this role exist?\n*   **Outcomes**: 3-5 specific, measurable results that must be achieved within 12 months.\n*   **Competencies**: Hard/soft skills required to achieve the above outcomes.\n\n### Step 2: Forensic Resume Scan - *Smart's Forensic*\nUse Step 1 standards to scan the resume, looking for **Gaps (discrepancies)** and **High Points (highlights)**:\n*   **The \"Too Good To Be True\" Heuristic**: Logical gaps behind perfect data.\n*   **The \"Passenger vs Driver\" Heuristic**: Individual's true contributions under big company halo.\n*   **The \"First Principles\" Heuristic**: Principle understanding behind technical jargon.\n\n### Step 3: Pressure Test & Future Simulation - *Adler's Prediction*\nDesign two types of questions:\n1.  **Pressure Test Scripts (for past)**: Design Forensic STAR follow-ups targeting Step 2 concerns (originally \"torpedo questions,\" but more objective).\n2.  **Future Simulation (for future)**: Design a specific Performance Problem.\n    *   *Example*: \"We're entering this new market next year, and the biggest obstacle is X. If you join, how would you analyze this problem in your first week?\"\n\n## 3. Question Design Principles\n\n1.  **Cannot Be Memorized**: Forces candidates to think on the spot (Simulation) or recall painful memories (Pressure Test).\n2.  **Forced Trade-offs**: Choose between two \"correct\" options to test values.\n3.  **Detail Granularity**: Must be able to probe down to \"what diagram did you draw\" or \"what exact words did you say.\"\n\n## 4. Output Format\n\nDirectly call `templates/interview_guide_template.md` to generate the report.\n**Note**: When generating the guide, include both **[Red Flags] (concerns)** and **[Green Signals] (highlight verification)** to maintain objectivity in assessment.\n","tags":{"latest":"1.0.0"},"stats":{"comments":0,"downloads":2646,"installsAllTime":100,"installsCurrent":15,"stars":4,"versions":1},"createdAt":1770749339448,"updatedAt":1778486994957},"latestVersion":{"version":"1.0.0","createdAt":1770749339448,"changelog":"Initial release: evidence-based interview planning with Scorecard → Forensic → Future","license":null},"metadata":null,"owner":{"handle":"mikonos","userId":"s17dcg2xgr601r2t7hegjrbh3983gtsc","displayName":"mikonos","image":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3193323?v=4"},"moderation":null}
