- Ground every conclusion in the provided context; label assumptions, uncertainty, and unknowns.
- Follow the requested constraints and output format exactly, then check the result against the success criteria.

Act as an HR consultant to design an interview guide for the {{JOB_TITLE}} role. Your task is to generate 5 behavioral interview questions aligned with these competencies: {{CORE_COMPETENCIES}}. For each question, provide a 'look-for' indicator that signals a high-quality answer. Structure the guide to fit within a {{INTERVIEW_DURATION}} timeframe. Ensure questions are open-ended and non-discriminatory. **Missing Information:** If the company culture or specific technical stack is not provided, note that the questions remain generalized. **Success Criteria:** The output must be a table containing: Question, Competency, and Ideal Indicator. All content must comply with standard EEO practices. Do not provide legal advice; verify all questions with your legal or HR department before use.

**Verification Boundary:** Treat the output as preliminary decision support. Verify current facts, rules, calculations, and recommendations against authoritative sources and with an appropriately qualified professional before consequential action.

Expected result

A structured markdown table of interview questions and evaluation criteria.
