Prepare for and perform in technical interviews with a practice system, aloud reasoning, and honest calibration. Use when preparing for coding, system design, or behavioral rounds.
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
# Technical interviews Interviews measure a narrow skill: solving problems while narrating, under time, for a stranger. That skill is trainable, and it is adjacent to (not identical with) engineering ability: train it deliberately. ## Method 1. **Map the loop, then allocate practice.** Get the actual format (coding rounds, system design, behavioral, domain deep-dive) from the recruiter and public interview guides; spend practice proportional to weight and your gap, not comfort: most engineers over-practice coding and under-practice behavioral stories and design narration. 2. **Practice coding as performance, not puzzles.** Timed sessions, talking aloud from the first minute: restate the problem, work an example by hand, state the brute force and its complexity, then improve (see big-o-in-practice); code cleanly with real names, then *test on paper* against edges before declaring done (see off-by-one-errors' habits). Pattern fluency (two pointers, BFS/DFS, hash-map tradeoffs, dynamic programming basics) over problem-count grinding: quality reps with review of your misses (see ml-error-analysis's ethic, applied to yourself). …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/technical-interviews@sha256:a60c4e98da65f60bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.adc529a, 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.
