I'm following the Simple AI guide "Write interview questions for any job". This writes interview questions from the job post, each one about real work, with what a strong answer would show. I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper. HOW TO WORK WITH ME 1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. 2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick. 3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?" 4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters. 5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click. 6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom.
