MangaAssist Interview Pack

This folder contains project-specific mock interview material for the JP Manga store chatbot, MangaAssist.

How To Use This Pack

Start with the basic file set if you want to build fluency in the business problem, user personas, and core architecture.
Move to medium and hard when you want to rehearse design reasoning, API boundaries, and implementation tradeoffs.
Use very-hard, super-hard, and architect-level for production incidents, platform evolution, and leadership-level discussions.
Each difficulty has two versions:
questions-only for timed mock interviews
with-hints for guided study and answer shaping

Grounding Rule

All questions are based on the documented MangaAssist design in this repository. Harder sections may probe gaps or ambiguities, but they do so explicitly as design challenges rather than assuming undocumented behavior is already implemented.
