# Interview Generator

Generic interview questions tell you nothing. This tool reads your actual codebase and generates questions that test skills relevant to your project.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-interview ./src/
```

## What It Does

- Analyzes your codebase for technologies and patterns
- Generates relevant technical questions
- Supports different seniority levels
- Focuses on your actual stack

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Generate mid-level questions
npx ai-interview ./src/

# Senior-level questions
npx ai-interview ./src/ --level senior --count 15

# Save to file
npx ai-interview ./src/ -o questions.md

# Junior level
npx ai-interview ./src/ --level junior
```

## Best Practices

- **Match to role** - don't ask senior questions to juniors
- **Mix theory and practice** - both matter
- **Include follow-ups** - good questions lead to discussions
- **Update periodically** - as your stack evolves

## When to Use This

- Preparing for candidate interviews
- Standardizing technical screens
- Building question banks for your team
- Onboarding interviewers to your codebase
