Introduction

After an employee resigns, HR or managers often only hear surface-level excuses such as “personal development” or “family reasons,” making it difficult to determine what truly needs improvement within the team. Creating problem checklists, designing question sequences, and organizing reason classifications from scratch is often time-consuming and lacks standardization. The following introduces the SkillHub community Skill “Exit Interview Preparation,” which encapsulates interview preparation, outline design, warning checklists, and result summarization into reusable Agent instructions, available for on-demand use in environments supporting Skills, such as Cursor.

What is This

“Exit Interview Preparation” (Coordinates @user_70c2f807/exit-interview-preparation, Version 1.0.0) is a business-ops Skill on SkillHub maintained by the community publisher user_70c2f807, with the source being community. The Skill description indicates it is applicable to scenarios where: conducting exit interviews is required, understanding real reasons for resignation is desired, structured interview guides are needed, or employee churn warning signals need to be identified. It is not used for termination processes, labor disputes, psychological counseling for departing employees, or retention negotiation strategies.

The package is marked with requires_api_key=false, requiring no additional API Key after installation. The SkillHub page shows a rating of 100000 and 813 downloads (statistics are subject to the platform).

Core Features

Based on the SKILL.md within the Skill package, verified capabilities include:

  1. Interview Outline Design: Customized question lists based on positions and exit scenarios.
  2. Questioning Strategy: A progressive questioning path from safe topics to deep-rooted causes.
  3. Warning Signal Identification: Listing common behavioral change indicators preceding resignation.
  4. Data Analysis Framework: Templates for exit reason classification and trend analysis.
  5. Talking Points & Communication: Key points for building trust and guiding in-depth discussions.
  6. Improvement Suggestions: Extracting organizational improvement directions from interview insights.

The Skill also defines a three-step execution flow: Interview Preparation (Subject info, purpose, interviewer, time & environment) → Outline Design (Warm-up, Core, Deep dive, Wrap-up) → Analysis & Application (Categorize reasons, identify improvable issues, action items). Output can be organized according to the “Exit Interview Execution Plan” structure, including sections such as interview settings, phased outlines, questioning techniques, and warning checklists.

Explicit limitations listed by the Skill include: interview design does not guarantee execution effectiveness; employees may be unwilling to speak the truth; reasons are often multi-factorial; and systematic data accumulation is required for trend value.

Installation & Activation

skillhub CLI must be present on the local machine before installation. If not installed, follow the official SkillHub instructions:

command -v skillhub && skillhub --version

# Full installation (CLI + Default Skills, Recommended)
curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash

# CLI Only
curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1388575217.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash -s -- --cli-only

When installing this Skill, you must use --dir to point to the current Agent’s skills directory; otherwise, installing to the default ./skills/ might not be recognized. The installation prompt provided on the official page is: Install @user_70c2f807/exit-interview-preparation according to SkillHub Installation & Priority Source Configuration.

Example command:

skillhub install @user_70c2f807/exit-interview-preparation --dir ~/.cursor/skills/

Common skills directories for different clients (excerpted from SkillHub installation docs, choose one based on your actual Agent):

  • Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/
  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Codex: ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ under the project

After installation is complete, restart or refresh the Agent according to your client’s requirements to load the Skill.

Typical Usage

The Skill provides example prompts in “Quick Start” that can be sent directly to the Agent (verbatim for reproducibility):

Help me design a question list for an IT department employee exit interview

Our turnover rate has been high recently. Help me analyze what potential warning signs there are

A core employee has submitted their resignation. Help me design an interview strategy to understand the real reasons

Help me build an exit interview data analysis framework to accumulate organizational improvement insights

How can I get employees to tell the truth during the interview? Any tips?

Following the steps above, the Agent will generate an interview plan based on the steps and output principles within the Skill; you simply need to add real context such as position, tenure, and interview purpose in the conversation.

Use Cases & Notes

Target Audience

  • HR, HRBPs, Team Leaders: Those needing standardized exit interview talking points and question structures.
  • Managers concerned about turnover: Those hoping to identify warning signs and improvement directions from interviews and aggregated data.

Usage Notes

  • The Skill distinguishes interviews from “termination notices,” “labor disputes,” “on-the-job satisfaction surveys,” and “retention negotiations.” Corresponding processes or tools should be used for these scenarios.
  • Interview content involves privacy and confidentiality. The Skill requires restricting the scope of knowledge, anonymizing data during aggregation, and ensuring record storage complies with company regulations. Issues revealing bullying or violations must be reported according to company policy while protecting the source.
  • Platform installation statistics may be irrelevant to the local environment; rely on whether the local skillhub install succeeds.

Conclusion

“Exit Interview Preparation” transforms exit interviews from ad-hoc improvisation into a repeatable preparation, outline, and analysis framework, suitable for use as a business-ops capability within Agents supporting SkillHub Skills.
