# Interview Answer Builder (STAR Method)

Craft a compelling STAR-format answer to any behavioral interview question from your raw experience.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Interview question** (free text, e.g. "The behavioral question you were asked or expect")
- **Role I'm interviewing for** (free text, e.g. "Job title and company type")
- **What actually happened** (longer free text)
- **Answer length** (choose one: 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 2 minutes)
- **Tone** (choose one: Confident, Humble, Analytical, Energetic)

## Prompt template

## Interview Answer Builder — STAR Method

Help me build a strong, natural-sounding answer to a behavioral interview question using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

- Interview question: {{Interview question}}
- Role I'm interviewing for: {{Role I'm interviewing for}}
- What actually happened: {{What actually happened}}
- Answer length: {{Answer length}}
- Tone: {{Tone}}

Structure the answer with a one-line situation, a clear task, 2-3 specific actions in first person, and a measurable result. Flag any part of my story that sounds vague or unverifiable, and suggest one stronger detail I could add. Finish with a one-sentence version I can use if the interviewer asks for a quick summary.
