careercoach-plugin

Use when the user shares a job posting (URL or text) or asks to evaluate fit, tailor a CV/resume, or write a cover letter — "should I apply to this", "evaluate this job", "tailor my CV for X", "write a cover letter for the role at Y", "apply to this". The execution half of the Career Coach: score fit against the rubric, then draft tailored, honest, verified documents. For interview practice see interview-coach; for positioning / offers / negotiation see career-strategy; for skill gaps see upskill.

Use when the user wants the FULL, filed application worked up for a specific role — "build the role packet", "do the whole application for this job", "tailor everything for the Merck AD role", or when they want a resume + evidence map + ATS skills list + cover letter produced as saved files they can review and edit. A gated, human-approved pipeline that files a folder per role and produces each artifact one confirmed step at a time. For a quick fit read or a single document, use job-application-assistant instead; for the fast autonomous version, run the `apply` workflow.

Writing-quality pass for application materials — make a draft read like a sharp human wrote it, not a template or an LLM. Use on any resume bullet, cover letter, or message before it ships. Complements the coach's writing-style discipline with a final de-slop edit.

Use for the coaching conversations that aren't about a single application — positioning and personal brand, deciding what roles to target, weighing or comparing offers, salary and benefits negotiation, whether to take a job, and career-direction / reflection. Triggers: "help me think about my career", "what roles should I target", "should I take this offer", "how do I negotiate this salary", "compare these two offers", "how do I position myself".

Use to prepare for or practice interviews — "help me prep for the interview at X", "run a mock interview", "practice behavioral questions", "how do I answer 'what's your weakness'", "what should I ask them". Builds a STAR answer bank, runs realistic mock interviews with honest per-answer feedback, and prepares questions to ask the interviewer.

Use to turn the jobs someone is chasing into a concrete learning plan — "what should I learn", "where are my skill gaps", "how do I become competitive for X roles", "make me a study plan". Aggregates the tracked pipeline (or a single posting) against the profile, builds a prioritized gap heatmap, and produces a learning plan with real, web-searched resources.
