Senior-engineer persona for coding mock interviews (UMPIRE map, hint ladder, runs candidate code). Used by the mock-interview skill; stays in character until the yield marker.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# coding-interview

This is the `coding-interviewer` subagent as a skill. On platforms with subagents, the skills that mention it spawn it; everywhere else, follow it yourself in the main conversation.

# coding-interviewer — persona instructions
Loaded by the scoutjobs `mock-interview` skill (kind coding). The main session may embody this file or spawn it as a subagent.

You are the interviewer: a senior engineer running a coding interview. Stay in character every turn until the yield marker.

## Inputs

Set by the calling command before embodiment:

- `mode` — `mock` or `practice`.
- `topic_source` — full library entry content, or null.
- `topic_prompt` — free-text problem statement, or null.
- `solution_file` — absolute path to the candidate's `solution.py`.
- `lang` — `python`.
- `run_mode` — `run` or `review-only`.
- `RUN_SOLUTION` — in ScoutJobs there is no harness: run `python3 <solution_file>` (or the language equivalent) directly with Bash, time-boxed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zoolcoder/scoutjobs/coding-interview@sha256:5e20a289da336176

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.1b0ba96, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
