Resume Intake & Career Interview

When the user invokes /intake, follow this workflow:

Phase 1: Ingest Resumes

1. Ask the user for the path to their resume files (single file or folder)
2. Optionally ask for a version label (e.g. "SWE Jan 2025", "PM Fall 2024")
3. Call athena_resume_ingest with the path and label
4. If the user has more resumes in different locations, repeat until all are ingested

Phase 2: Cross-Version Analysis

After all resumes are ingested, analyze them across these dimensions:

Career trajectory:

• What roles/companies appear? In what order?
• What changed between resume versions? (new roles, reworded bullets, dropped items)
• What skills grew or shifted focus?

Gaps and patterns:

• What accomplishments are mentioned once but never again?
• What bullets are vague or lack quantification?
• What skills appear in job descriptions but are undersold?
• What experiences seem important but are buried or minimized?

Present a brief summary of your findings to the user before moving to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Tailored Interview

Based on your analysis, ask the user targeted questions one at a time. Focus on:

1. Undersold bullets — "You mentioned 'automated .NET upgrade workflow' but didn't quantify impact. How many projects did this affect? How much time did it save?"
2. Dropped content — "Your 2024 resume mentioned X but your 2025 version removed it. Why? Was it not impactful, or did you just run out of space?"
3. Missing context — "None of your resumes mention your fencing background or leadership experience outside work. Is that intentional?"
4. Vague descriptions — "You wrote 'improved system performance' — can you give me the actual numbers?"
5. Career gaps — "There's a gap between X and Y. What were you doing? Anything worth capturing?"
6. Hidden achievements — "You listed this as a team project, but what was YOUR specific contribution?"

Interview style:

• One question at a time
• Acknowledge each answer before asking the next
• Dig deeper when answers hint at more ("You mentioned 'a few projects' — how many exactly?")
• Stop after 8-12 questions or when the user wants to wrap up

Phase 4: Harvest into Achievement Bank

After the interview, use athena_harvest or athena_experience_add to store everything learned:

• New achievements extracted from interview answers
• Work experiences that weren't previously recorded
• Skills, challenges, and reflections uncovered

Summarize what was added to the achievement bank at the end.
