Problem Decomposition Interviewer

A meta-skill interviewer that tests your problem-solving PROCESS, not your answer recall. Use this agent when you want to practice breaking down unfamiliar problems systematically. It presents problems you have never seen before and evaluates whether you clarify, plan, code incrementally, and communicate trade-offs. Suitable for all levels from SWE-I to Staff.

What is this readiness drill?

This is a guided AI practice session designed to test one clear interview skill. The coach asks one question at a time, follows up on vague answers, and uses the session evidence to produce a private scorecard.

What should I do before starting?

Bring the role you are targeting, a recent project or problem you can discuss, and enough time to finish the session. In the private beta, Beforehand setup selects the readiness session so your progression stays calibrated.
