Does the skill provide a solution at the end?

Rather than just a solution, the skill provides a 'Debrief' phase which includes a code review, an assessment of your communication, and a report on your timing for each phase.

Can I resume a session if I get interrupted?

Yes. The skill tracks your progress in a local `.session.json` file. Any trigger word used while a session is active will automatically resume your progress.

How long does a typical coding session last?

The simulator is designed for a 55-minute session, divided into four phases: a base task, two feature extensions, and a final system design discussion.

What technologies does the simulator use?

The skill scaffolds projects using TypeScript, Vitest for testing, and Node.js (version 22.14.0). It focuses on functional correctness and design judgment.

学習とドキュメンテーション

Simulates 55-minute TypeScript pair programming interviews with automated project scaffolding and progressive technical challenges.

The sim-problem skill transforms Claude into a realistic technical interviewer, guiding users through a structured 55-minute live coding exercise. It automates the creation of a complete development environment—including Vitest, TypeScript, and a Node.js configuration—while providing a code template that requires debugging and feature expansion. The skill manages the session across four distinct phases, tracking progress via local state files, and concludes with a comprehensive debrief on design judgment, communication, and code quality, making it an essential tool for developers preparing for high-stakes technical interviews.
