# JD to Job Specification

## Overview
Analyzes job postings to identify technical shortages, team priorities, and unstated operational needs, drafting materials targeted specifically to role demands.

## Rationale
Generic resume keyword matching fails to demonstrate technical alignment. Tailoring applications to operational realities yields stronger outcomes.

## Core Principles
* Always verify environment constraints and dependencies before executing.
* Enforce negative constraints and reject speculative abstractions.
* Validate output against stated acceptance rubrics.

## Execution Workflow
1. Discovery: Map requirements and inspect active context.
2. Decomposition: Break down the task into discrete, verifiable phases.
3. Execution: Implement surgical changes preserving existing code architecture.
4. Verification: Test all criteria before declaring completion.
