⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 29, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Handed the same weak interview answer to both runs and diffed the rewrites against what the candidate actually said: the no-skill rewrite read beautifully and invented nine specifics the candidate never mentioned, including a clickable prototype, a two-week demo cadence and 'shipped on time', which is an answer nobody could defend when the interviewer follows up. The skill's never-fabricate rule held: zero invented facts, five explicit fill-in slots where the real action and the missing number belong, plus a named competency tag and a table of four other questions the finished story would cover. Its bank-first lookup is real and executable: grepping the shipped index correctly returned no match for 'Dealing with Ambiguity' and routed to polishing rather than reuse. Note the story bank is written inside the cloned skill directory, so your personal stories become dirty files in the repo and collide with any git pull update.

What BQ Skill does

Behavioral-interview prep that builds a reusable bilingual story bank instead of canned answers: it mines real experiences one question at a time, structures them with STAR/CAR/SOAR, tags them by competency, and files each one as a markdown story that later questions can reuse. Also takes a job description plus a resume and reverse-engineers a Top 20 question set with STAR prep templates and an HTML report. Triggers on behavioral-interview requests, pasted 'tell me about a time' questions, mock-interview asks, and story-bank lookups.

How to install BQ Skill

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
