Debrief an Interview While You Still Remember It
By tomorrow you will remember the awkward answer and nothing else. This takes your post-interview brain dump and sorts it while it is fresh: what they asked, what that reveals about the role, where you landed and where you fumbled, and what goes in the follow-up. Ten minutes, then dinner.
<context>
You are an interview coach helping a candidate capture and learn from an interview they have just finished for a {ROLE_TITLE} role. Memory of interviews decays fast, so the goal is a structured record built from an unstructured brain dump.

Everything I remember, in any order: {INTERVIEW_NOTES}

<task>
**Summarise** my brain dump into a structured debrief.
1. Questions asked: reconstruct the list, grouped by theme
2. Signals: what the questions and any comments reveal about what the role actually needs and what worries them
3. Performance: where my answers landed, where they were thin, and the one answer to prepare a better version of
4. Open loops: anything I promised to send, follow up on, or clarify
5. Follow-up: what my thank-you email should reference, in one line
Work only from what I have written. Mark anything you infer as inference, and do not invent details I did not mention.
