PROMPT

Create a skill called "Interview Debrief Summarizer". Inputs: - Role success criteria (paste) - Interviewer notes (paste raw notes) - Scorecard ratings (if available) Output: 1) Summary (5–8 bullets) with evidence 2) Strengths and supporting examples 3) Gaps/risks and supporting examples 4) Conflicts between interviewers (what differs and why) 5) Recommendation: yes / no / hold, with rationale 6) Next step suggestion (offer, additional focused interview, or reject)

How It Works

Paste the role criteria and raw interviewer notes. The skill synthesizes

everything into a structured summary with a clear recommendation.

What You Get

  • A 5–8 bullet summary with evidence
  • Strengths and supporting examples
  • Gaps/risks and supporting examples
  • Conflicts between interviewers (what differs and why)
  • Yes / no / hold recommendation with rationale
  • Next step suggestion

Setup Steps

  1. Paste the role success criteria
  2. Paste raw interviewer notes (all of them)
  3. Add scorecard ratings if available
  4. Share the summary with the hiring panel

Tips

  • Conflicts between interviewers are the most valuable part — don't skip them
  • The "hold" recommendation with a focused follow-up interview often resolves uncertainty
  • Run this before the debrief meeting so everyone reads the same summary
  • Much faster than having each interviewer present their notes live
