| name | coverage-audit |
| description | Generate the STEP 2 coverage analysis for a drafted application document — mapping the draft against every section of the source materials (candidate information pack, position description, advertisement, selection criteria, recruiter requests, 'About You' / 'Key Accountabilities' / 'Capabilities' sections) and marking each Addressed / Partially Addressed / Not Addressed with the supporting evidence-bank entry IDs. Use this skill immediately after any application draft is finalised (cover letter, statement of claims, targeted pitch, selection criteria response, recruiter response) — STEP 2 is mandatory for every application-drafting session. Also use when [Candidate First Name] asks 'how well does this cover the PD', 'coverage analysis', 'what did we miss', or 'map the draft to the criteria'. Produces the Step 2 deliverable tables directly. |
Coverage Audit — STEP 2 verification skill
Codifies STEP 2 (coverage analysis) of Project_Instructions.md (rev 2026-06-12). Wave 3 verification skill of the framework.
This skill produces the supplementary analysis showing how well the drafted response addresses the source materials. It runs after the draft is final (post length-check and watchouts-sweep), because coverage is assessed against delivered text, not an intermediate draft.
When to invoke
- Default trigger: after STEP 1 closes on any application-drafting session — coverage analysis is mandatory, not optional.
- Explicit triggers: "coverage analysis", "how well does this cover the PD", "what did we miss", "map the draft to the criteria".
- Not applicable to interview prep (STEP 2 is an application-drafting step).
Inputs the skill needs
- The final draft text (or file path in
Submissions/).
- All source materials provided this session — candidate information pack, position description, advertisement, recruiter requests, selection criteria.
- The evidence-bank entry IDs used in the draft (from the Step 1 traceability list).
Method
Load references/coverage-method.md, then:
- Enumerate the assessable sections across all provided materials: selection criteria; "About You" / "What We Are Looking For"; "Key Accountabilities"; "Key Challenges"; "Capabilities"; recruiter-specific requests; any equivalent section.
- Map each section to the draft. Mark Addressed / Partially Addressed / Not Addressed; cite the draft passage and the supporting evidence-bank entry ID(s).
- Surface the risk list: important requirements not strongly evidenced; areas where further examples would improve the application; wording in the draft that needs strengthening or sharpening.
- Feed STEP 4: any gap that traces to missing bank evidence (rather than drafting choice) is named as a candidate evidence-bank capture for the post-draft maintenance report.
Output format
The STEP 2 deliverable: one table per source document (Section / Status / How covered + entry IDs / Gap or risk), followed by the consolidated risk list and the bank-gap candidates. Advisory by nature — coverage gaps inform the candidate's submit/strengthen decision; they do not block delivery.
