Builds a reference check guide with a consent step, questions tied to the scorecard criteria and the debrief's open questions, probes past polite answers, a never-ask list and a note template. Use for "run recruit-reference-check", "reference check questions", "questions to ask references", "references that tell me something", "reference call script", "what not to ask a referee", "take-up references for the finalist", part of the AI for Recruiting Pack by 90n.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'recruit-reference-check' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'recruit-reference-check' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named recruit-reference-check already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/polar-bear-org/claude-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '95f01806ca43f6ee788d0579743e35853b695930' -- 'packs/ai-for-recruiting-pack/skills/recruit-reference-check' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packs/ai-for-recruiting-pack/skills/recruit-reference-check' ~/.agents/skills/'recruit-reference-check' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'recruit-reference-check' ~/.claude/skills/'recruit-reference-check' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
