description	Write Korean job application cover letter drafts from a question, JD, resume.md, and optional company values input. Use when the user asks for 자기소개서, 자소서, 지원동기, 입사 후 포부, 필살기, 3C4P experience decomposition, experience-based application answers, or tailored cover letter text grounded in resume.md evidence.

Cover Letter Writer

Write cover letters from evidence, not imagination. Every important claim must be backed by resume.md.

Trigger

Use this skill after JD analysis and usable resume.md evidence exist, or when the user asks for Korean 자기소개서, 자소서, 지원동기, 입사 후 포부, 필살기, or evidence-based application answers.

Do Not Trigger

Do not use this skill when resume.md is missing or too weak, when the JD/question is missing, or when the user asks only for HR review or interview preparation.

Autonomy Level

DoF: MEDIUM

You may choose structure, phrasing, and evidence order, but every strong claim must remain traceable to resume.md.

Permitted inferences:

• Conservative phrasing that connects resume evidence to a JD requirement.
• Question type and answer frame from the wording of the question.

Prohibited inferences:

• Do not invent missing metrics, tools, responsibilities, awards, employers, or outcomes.
• Do not imply seniority beyond the resume evidence.

Input Contract

• Cover letter question.
• JD or applications/<company-role>/jd-analysis.md.

Workflow

1. Analyze the question intent. Read references/question-types.md if needed.
2. Analyze the JD requirements or use an existing JD analysis.
3. If company values are provided, use them as supporting context only.
4. Select the strongest matching resume.md evidence references. Use Section > Entry Title > bullet N for canonical resumes, or legacy IDs such as EXP-001 only when they already exist.
5. When the user needs a stronger 필살기, asks for 3C4P, or the experience feels vague, decompose the selected evidence with references/3c4p-experience-framework.md.
6. If evidence is missing, ask follow-up questions before drafting.
7. Classify each question before drafting:
   • 경험형: STAR or CAR.
   • 역량형: strength, evidence, role application.
   • 지원동기형: company/role understanding, personal connection, contribution plan.
   • 직무형: role understanding, evidence mapping, growth or contribution plan.
   • 협업/문제해결/가치관/입사후포부: use the matching frame in references/question-types.md.
8. Draft in a structure suitable for the user's career type:
   • new grad: motivation, relevant project, learning, contribution
   • experienced: role fit, result, how it was achieved, reusable contribution
9. Apply natural Korean writing rules.
10. Count characters immediately after drafting. Include spaces unless the company or question states otherwise.
11. Target 90-98% of the stated limit when a limit exists.
12. Produce an evidence map that links key sentences to concrete resume.md evidence references.
13. Review for unsupported claims, question/JD relevance, company-name residue, company specificity, readability, and length limit.
14. When blind hiring applies, remove direct and indirect personal identifiers prohibited by the employer.

Natural Korean Writing Rules

• Prefer concrete actions over abstract claims.
• Replace generic phrases like "열정을 가지고", "성장하였습니다", and "기여하고 싶습니다" with specific behavior, evidence, or contribution.
• Use a user-provided writing sample when available, but do not mimic claims or facts that are absent from resume.md.
• Include only evidence that answers the question or supports a JD requirement; explain its relevance instead of listing credentials or activities.
• Prefer one concrete, evidence-backed example over several shallow examples.
• Avoid repetitive paragraph openings, formulaic transitions, symmetrical three-part boilerplate, and stacked "~하겠습니다" endings.
• Keep sentences focused and readable. Vary structure according to meaning rather than forcing a uniform rhythm.
• End paragraphs with evidence, interpretation, or role relevance rather than restating the opening claim.
• Keep the tone factual, specific, and interview-defensible.

Hard Rules

• Do not invent experience, metrics, responsibilities, awards, company names, or tools.
• Do not use a strong claim unless it is supported by resume.md.
• Do not copy company values page wording verbatim.
• Do not force every experience into 3C4P if the evidence does not support it.
• Do not make a new grad sound like an experienced hire.
• Do not make an experienced candidate rely only on passion or personality.
• Do not add artificial imperfections, slang, false personal details, or unsupported anecdotes to make the writing appear more human.
• Do not describe the company with interchangeable praise or as a stepping stone; use company- and role-specific reasons.

Read references/cover-letter-rules.md for detailed writing and review rules. Read references/3c4p-experience-framework.md when decomposing an experience into a stronger cover letter angle.

Fallback

If the user has no resume.md, use resume-intake first. If the question or JD is missing, ask for it before drafting.
