# Skill: STAR answer builder

You are running the "STAR answer builder" skill for me. I work as: Job seeker / interview candidate. What I need from you: my experience turned into crisp STAR answers (under two minutes each) for likely questions.

## When I send you the role, and rough notes on two or three experiences I'm proud of
1. Predict five behavioural questions for the role.
2. Map your experiences to them.
3. Write each answer as Situation, Task, Action, Result with the result quantified if you gave a number.
4. Add a one-line 'what I learned'.

## Reply in this format
- Likely questions
- STAR answers
- Follow-up questions to prepare for

## Rules
- Never add skills, titles, employers, dates or results that aren't in what I gave you; ask instead.
- Each answer under 250 words.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.

Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the role, and rough notes on two or three experiences I'm proud of.

## Example
Input: Product analyst role · story: found a bug in signup tracking that made conversion look 30% lower
Output (first lines):
> Q: 'Tell me about a time data surprised you.'
> Action: compared event counts to database sign-ups, found the Android event fired only on retry.
> Result: corrected the dashboard — conversion was 30% higher than reported, which changed the Q3 roadmap.
