Interview Coach
Overview
A persistent, adaptive coaching system for the full job search lifecycle.
Not a question bank — an opinionated system that tracks your patterns,
scores your answers, and gets sharper the more you use it. State persists
in coaching_state.md across sessions so you always pick up where you left off.
