It is written for someone who wants to check the rules, change them, or build something like this for a different kind of decision. + +The rules here are a snapshot dated 2026-10-01. They were rebuilt from the author's private version of this tool, which keeps changing.

It is not reliable at doing the same arithmetic the same way twice, and it will happily fill a silence with a guess. So the work is split: + +| Part of the job | Done by | Why | +|---|---|---| +| Reading the posting, rating each criterion, quoting the words behind each rating | the model | This needs judgment about language. | +| Checking every quote is really in the posting, and every claimed qualification points at real evidence | `assessment/scripts/check_findings.py` | A model can misquote or overclaim. Code can look it up. | +| Turning ratings into four scores | `assessment/scripts/score_helpers.py` | Arithmetic should give the same answer every time. | +| Turning scores into a verdict | `assessment/scripts/verdict.py` | The rules are fixed and checked in order.

The findings file is the only thing the model produces that counts. A score or verdict typed by a model is ignored. + +This split does not make the model's reading correct. It makes it visible and small. In a recorded live run (`tests/e2e-output-run1.md`), the model read one fictional posting's line "You can document our mobile SDK" as optional, where the expected answer counts it as a skill gap. Every quote it gave was real, so the checks passed, and the scripts turned that one different reading into a different verdict.

It only changes what the rating costs. +- Every rating other than unknown carries a quote copied from the posting. +- A qualification is written as `{requirement_quote, evidence_ids}`. There is no free-text field for a strength. A skill the posting wants that the person scored highly but cannot show is written as `{skill_id, status: unproven}`. +- `verdict_reason` is one or two plain sentences for a person, written before the verdict is known. + +`check_findings.py FINDINGS --posting P --profile PROFILE` exits 1 when: + +1. A rating other than unknown has no quote, or its quote is not in the posting text. Case, spaces, curly quotes and dashes are ignored. Words are not. +2. A read that autonomy is poor rests only on generic phrases ("partner with", "work closely", "collaborate", "stakeholder" and similar). Those appear in almost every senior posting. If that is all the posting says, the honest rating is unknown. +3. A perk, a hustle phrase, a low time-off note, a soft flag or a negative phrase has no quote found in the posting. +4. An evidence id does not exist, is marked `do_not_use`, or belongs to someone else's work. +5. A requirement, perk, hard block, named exception or skill id is not in the profile. +6. The findings' lane, the posting's lane and the profile's lanes disagree. +7. `verdict_reason` is missing or uses rubric words such as "4c" or "job-type override". + +## Scoring rules + +Each score runs from 0 to 10. All four are computed by `assessment/scripts/score_helpers.py` from the findings file and the profile. + +| Score | Rule | +|---|---| +| **Fit**: does the job's shape match what you want? | Start at 10. For each **strong** must-have in the lane: strong or fair costs 0, weak costs 1.5, poor costs 3, unknown costs 1.5. For each **soft** must-have: weak or poor costs 1, anything else costs 0. Must-haves marked `bonus` never cost anything. Autonomy the findings mark `net: negative` (the model's overall read: positive, neutral, negative or unknown) costs 2. Each skill the person would rather avoid that is core daily work in this job costs 1, at most 2 in total. Floor 0. | +| **Comp**: is the base pay enough? | Base pay only, never bonus or equity. Pay not listed scores **5**, a neutral middle, not 0. When pay is listed, pick the tier (the person's named location, else a nationwide or "everywhere else" tier, else the lowest tier) and score the **top** of its range: at or above target 10; at or above min 8; at or above floor 3; below floor 1. | +| **Qualifications**: can you do this job, going by your evidence? | Start at 10. Asking for more years than the person has, or for years in a narrow sub-domain, costs 2 (once). Each load-bearing known gap costs 1, and self-scores of 0 or 1 on load-bearing lines share the same cap of 4 (one skill is never counted twice). A working-style mismatch costs 3. Floor 0. | +| **Culture**: what does the posting say about how people are treated? | Start at **5**, because silence tells you nothing. A big perk adds 2, a nice perk adds 1, a strong positive phrase adds 1. Low time off (below the person's threshold, or accrual only) costs 2. Each hustle phrase costs 1, at most 3. Each tripped soft flag costs 1, but unlisted pay is never a Culture cost because Comp already scored it. Each negative phrase costs 1. Floor 0, cap 10. | + +**Rounding.** Each score is clamped to its floor and cap and then rounded half up to a whole number (8.5 becomes 9, not 8) before the verdict rules run. + +### Prompt for your AI model + +Use this to check the arithmetic above by hand against the three fictional postings. + + +```text +I'm attaching ARCHITECTURE.md, fixtures/robin-sample/career-profile.yaml, the three postings in fixtures/postings/ and their files in fixtures/findings/.

A good answer matches all three verdicts and all twelve scores. +``` + +## Verdict rules + +`assessment/scripts/verdict.py` checks these in order. The first rule that fires decides, and nothing after it is looked at. + +| Order | Rule | Fires when | Verdict | +|---|---|---|---| +| 1 | Hard block | The posting trips one of the person's hard blocks, and no named exception covers this company. The findings record whether an exception applies; `verdict.py` only learns whether a block is still tripped. | Skip | +| 2 | Job-type override (4a) | A required skill that is central to the daily work has no evidence behind it at all. It is a different job with a familiar title. Subject knowledge, such as finance or law, counts as a skill here. | Skip | +| 3 | Score floor (4b) | Fit is 5 or lower, or Qualifications is 5 or lower. | Skip | +| 4 | Reservations band (4c) | Comp is 3 or lower, or Culture is 3 or lower, or the average of Fit and Qualifications is under 7. | Apply with reservations | +| 5 | Apply (4d) | Nothing above fired. | Apply | + +**Trigger labels.** `verdict.py` reports which rule fired as `hard block`, `4a`, `4b`, `4c comp`, `4c culture`, `4c comp and culture`, `4c average` or `4d`. `fixtures/expected.yaml` writes the same labels with a hyphen, for example `4c-average`. + +**The company read is never an input.** The profile can name companies the person is excited about, and the assessment shows that read, but `verdict.py` takes four numbers and two optional flags and nothing else. A test checks its signature. + +## Worked example: posting 03 + +`fixtures/postings/03-unlisted-pay-perks.md` is a fictional senior writer role, read against Robin Sample's `tech-writing` lane. Its findings file is `fixtures/findings/03-unlisted-pay-perks.findings.json`. + +| Score | Arithmetic | Result | +|---|---|---| +| Fit | 10. Expert access is a strong must-have rated weak: minus 1.5. A say in the tools is a strong must-have the posting never mentions, so unknown: minus 1.5. The style guide is soft and rated fair: 0. Autonomy is unknown, because the posting only uses generic collaboration words: 0. 10 - 1.5 - 1.5 = 7. | 7 | +| Comp | Pay is not listed. | 5 | +| Qualifications | 10. The posting asks for 11 years and Robin has 9: minus 2. Mobile SDK docs is a known gap: minus 1. Kubernetes is a self-score gap on a required line: minus 1. 10 - 2 - 1 - 1 = 6. | 6 | +| Culture | 5. Extra paid days off is a big perk: plus 2. A learning budget is a big perk: plus 2. "Fast-paced" is on Robin's list of phrases that cost nothing. 5 + 2 + 2 = 9. | 9 | + +Verdict: no hard block, no override, Fit and Qualifications are both above 5, Comp and Culture are both above 3, but the average of Fit and Qualifications is (7 + 6) / 2 = 6.5, under 7. **Apply with reservations**, rule 4c. + +## Interpretations + +The private rules this was rebuilt from are written as prose. These are the places where that prose left room for two readings, and the choice the code makes. Items 1 to 13 are pinned by tests in `tests/test_score_helpers.py` and `tests/test_check_findings.py`. Item 14 is display only. + +1. **A fair rating on a soft must-have costs nothing.** Only weak and poor cost 1. +2. **A pay top between the open ask and the target scores 8.** The open ask is stored but is not a scoring boundary. +3. **Each score is rounded half up before the verdict rules run**, so an average of 6.5 is computed from whole numbers. +4. **A strong must-have the findings never mention counts as unknown and costs 1.5.** A silent soft must-have costs nothing. Other silent items, such as perks, cost nothing. +5. **Too many years and a narrow sub-domain cost 2 once in total**, not 2 each. +6. **Known gaps and self-score gaps are one set.** A known gap that names a `skill_id` and a self-score gap on the same skill count once, under the shared cap of 4. +7. **The code picks the pay tier, not the model.** A tier whose label contains the person's location label wins, then a tier whose label says nationwide, national, everywhere else, all other or similar, then the tier with the lowest top. The model's `tier_used` is ignored. +8. **Low time off.** Accrual-only time off counts as low. A stated number of days counts as low when it is under the person's threshold. With neither, the model's flag stands. +9. **Hustle phrases.** A phrase on the person's `free_phrases` list costs nothing. Any other hustle phrase the model quotes costs 1, even if it is not on the person's `hustle_phrases` list. +10. **Unlisted pay is never a soft-flag cost.** Soft flags with ids such as `no_pay_transparency` or `unlisted_pay` are skipped in Culture. +11. **What counts as a generic autonomy phrase.** A quote is generic only when it holds a generic phrase ("partner with", "work closely", "stakeholder" and similar) and none of the phrases that really say who decides ("approval", "sign-off", "reports to", "ownership" and similar). Both lists are in `check_findings.py`. +12. **Quotes must come from the posting text itself.** In a saved note, only the text below the "Full posting text" heading counts, so a quote cannot be satisfied by the assessment block or the note's front matter. +13. **Repeats count once.** The same perk, phrase or soft flag quoted twice adds or costs once. +14. **The email card's autonomy row** shows net positive as strong, neutral as fair and negative as poor. This is display only and changes no score. + +**Three phrases stay judgment calls on purpose.** Whether a line is *load-bearing*, whether a skill is *core daily work*, and whether a required skill is *central to the daily work* are decided by the model while it reads, following the definitions in `assessment/SKILL.md` step 3e. The code cannot decide them, and they are where two careful readers are most likely to differ. The live run in `tests/e2e-output-run1.md` differed on exactly this kind of call. + +## What this does not do + +- It does not predict whether you will be hired, and it has not been compared with any other way of choosing jobs. +- It does not check whether the model's reading of tone is right. The checks catch quotes that do not exist and evidence that does not exist. They cannot catch a real quote read the wrong way, as the live run in `tests/e2e-output-run1.md` shows. +- It does not fetch anything about the company from outside the posting. +- It does not send email.

The model's only output that counts is a findings file: one rating per criterion, each tied to words quoted from the posting, and each claimed qualification tied to an entry in your own evidence. Then code takes over: + +1. `check_findings.py` refuses a quote that is not in the posting, an evidence entry that does not exist or is not yours, and a "you'd have no say" reading that rests only on generic phrases like "work closely with". +2. `score_helpers.py` does the arithmetic. +3. `verdict.py` applies the verdict rules in a fixed order. It has no input for the company's name, so a famous employer cannot talk its way past the rules. + +**Why this matters, shown on a real run.** The live run with Claude Sonnet misjudged one of the fake postings on its first attempt. Posting 03 says "You can document our mobile SDK for iOS and Android", and Robin has no mobile SDK experience. The expected answer counts that as a skill gap. The model read "can" as optional and did not count it, so Qualifications came out 7 instead of 6, and the verdict came out Apply instead of Apply with reservations. That is a reading two careful people could disagree on. Every quote it gave was real, so the checks passed. A second attempt with no changes gave the expected answer. Both records are kept: [`tests/e2e-output-run1.md`](tests/e2e-output-run1.md) (the miss) and [`tests/e2e-output.md`](tests/e2e-output.md) (the pass). + +The scripts did not catch that misreading, and no script can tell a real quote read too kindly from one read correctly. What the split buys is this: the disagreement sat in one visible field of one file, where a person can see it and fix it, and every number after it followed the written rules. Without the split, the same miss would be buried inside a paragraph of confident prose. + +The checks do catch the mechanical misses. While the prompts below were being tested, one Claude Haiku run quoted a sentence that is not in the posting, and `check_findings.py` stopped the run before any score was computed ([`tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/p3-haiku-v3.md`](tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/p3-haiku-v3.md)). + +[`ARCHITECTURE.md`](ARCHITECTURE.md) has every scoring and verdict rule in full, a worked example, and the places where a rule needed an interpretation. + +## How it was built + +Built by directing Claude Code.

The final run put the known-gap cost slightly loosely. + +### 02 Customize to my background (build my central file) + +Good answer: one question per turn; never suggests an answer or invents a fact; shows each YAML entry with its source label and asks for confirmation before moving on; interview facts get `proof: unchecked`; never claims to have written a file; the final file passes `validate_profile.py`. + +- **Version 1** (the text the intake package shipped): FAIL on both. Neither model was told it could not run commands. Sonnet kept the interview rules well but spent most turns trying to find the scripts and paused at stage 0 with nothing written. Haiku printed pretend tool calls, claimed to have written the file itself instead of through `add_entry.py`, and skipped the first stage 0 question. The Haiku simulated user also asked the interviewer questions. Records: `earlier-versions/p2-*-v1.md`. +- **Change:** the prompt now says the model cannot run commands, must never claim to have written anything, and must show the `add_entry.py` command for the user to run. The simulated user now runs on Sonnet with stricter instructions, and the last turn asks for the whole file as it would stand after the user ran the commands. +- **Version 2** (says the model cannot run commands): the final file passed `validate_profile.py` for both models, with one expected warning (no perks yet). Sonnet PASS: one question per turn, a source label under every entry, a confirmation before every command, no claims of writing, and no invented facts. It covered stage 0 and the first employer in the 24 turns allowed. Haiku PARTIAL: it kept to one question per turn and never claimed a write, but it showed no source labels, printed "(Reading stage 0 guidance...)" for a file it did not have, and asked one two-part question in stage 1. Records: `earlier-versions/p2-*-v2.md`. +- **Change:** the prompt now asks for the source label on its own line under each entry, with the label format. + +V3-PLACEHOLDER + +### 03 Run on my first posting + +Good answer: the JSON passes `check_findings.py` with no problems and `assess_offline.py` then gives a verdict (Apply for posting 01); every claimed qualification cites a real evidence id and none cites the `do_not_use` entry; the model does not compute scores or a verdict itself; it lists its least certain judgment calls with the posting's words. + +- **Version 1** (asked for scores and a verdict as well, without the findings schema attached): FAIL on both. Both wrote `strong_positive_phrases` as plain strings, so the findings broke the schema. This run also showed that `check_findings.py` stops with a Python traceback on that shape instead of a plain message. That is noted for a follow-up; `assess_offline.py` reports it cleanly because it checks the schema first. +- **Version 2** (schema attached, scores as a labelled preview): both JSON files passed the checks and gave Apply. Sonnet PASS. Haiku PARTIAL: its preview scored Comp 8 when the pay top was above the target, which the scripts score 10. This is the lesson of the whole system in miniature, so the next version stopped asking for scores at all. +- **Version 3** (the published text: findings and judgment calls only, no scores): Sonnet PASS. Haiku's first run quoted a sentence that is not in the posting. `check_findings.py` caught it and `assess_offline.py` stopped before any score was computed (`earlier-versions/p3-haiku-v3.md`). On the second run of the same text, which allows one round of fixes after a failed check, both models passed on the first try, so no fix round was needed. Both gave Apply. Haiku's findings scored 9, 10, 9 and 10, the same as the hand-written fixture. Sonnet's scored Fit 10 instead of 9, because it rated the manual docs build fair where the fixture says weak, and it named that exact call as one it was unsure of. The verdict did not change. + +### 04 Test the scoring with the fixture + +Good answer: arithmetic shown for all four scores on all three postings; 12 of 12 scores and 3 of 3 verdicts match `fixtures/expected.yaml`; the comparison comes after the work. + +- Sonnet and Haiku: PASS on both runs, 12 of 12 and 3 of 3 each time. Caveat: the expected file is attached in the same message, so the order "work first, then compare" cannot be enforced. Each answer's arithmetic was checked step by step against the rules, not just the totals. +- The first Sonnet run pointed out that the document did not name the `4c average` trigger label. `ARCHITECTURE.md` now lists every trigger label. + +### 05 Find gaps in my central file + +Good answer: finds all three planted gaps in `fixtures/gappy-profile.yaml` (the skill scored 5 on one unchecked interview answer, the hard block with no reason, the second lane copied from the first), each with its YAML path, why it matters and one question; fills no gap itself. + +- **Version 1**: both found all three, but the test was not fair. The attached section of `ARCHITECTURE.md` described the three gaps. That paragraph was rewritten in general terms, and the prompt was widened to say "must-haves or hard blocks with no reason" and "skills that rest on thin evidence". +- **Version 2** (published): PASS on both. Both also raised extra, reasonable weak spots, such as `last` dates that do not match the evidence dates. + +### 06 Fix errors + +Good answer: covers all five problems in the broken fixture's validator output; names the missing evidence id `ev-placeholder-style-guide`; each fix is the smallest before-and-after change; where the right value is the user's call it offers choices with a placeholder instead of a guess; suggests only values the file allows. + +- Sonnet: PASS on all four versions. +- Haiku: PARTIAL on all four versions. Each version tightened the wording: no invented values, then placeholders, then no line numbers and a pointer to the schema for allowed values. Haiku improved each time but kept suggesting `last` values such as `1y` or `6m`, which the schema does not allow, and in two versions suggested linking the skill to an unrelated evidence entry. In the final version it does use placeholders for every number and choice. Records: `earlier-versions/p6-*-v1.md` to `-v3.md`, and `p6-*.md`. + +### r1 Review the rules for gaps + +Good answer: covers every item under Interpretations, each with the quoted rule and one clarifying sentence; no sentence changes a number, band, cap or rule order; no new rules are invented. + +- Sonnet: PASS on every run. Its answers also found real gaps in the document, which led to three edits in `ARCHITECTURE.md`: what "net negative" autonomy means, where a named exception is decided, and a note that three phrases stay judgment calls on purpose. +- Haiku: version 1 FAIL (one sentence changed a poor rating's cost from 3 to 1.5), version 2 FAIL (one sentence changed the Comp bands). Version 3, the published text, asks the model to check each sentence against the rules tables: one run was PARTIAL (it invented a mapping from autonomy to the rating scale), and the final run was a PASS with all 14 items covered and every number kept. + +### s1 Walk me through setup + +Good answer: one step at a time in the order SETUP.md gives; waits for the output each time; when pytest fails with a missing `yaml` module, diagnoses the inactive virtual environment and fixes it; ends with the tests passing and the posting 03 summary. + +- Sonnet and Haiku: PASS. Both diagnosed the inactive virtual environment correctly. Note on the simulated user: it invented a validator output for the broken file that does not look like the real one. Both models noticed the format was different and moved on, since a failure was expected at that step. A home-folder path and temp-folder paths typed by the simulated user were shortened in the saved records. + +### r2 Customize the rubric + +Good answer: one question at a time; every change shown as YAML inside `culture` only; moves the learning budget to nice and adds the new hustle phrase when asked; declines to make Culture count double, because that would change the verdict rules. + +- Sonnet and Haiku: PASS on both runs. Notes: in the first run the simulated user said it would enjoy "hackathon weekends", so Sonnet sensibly put it on the free list instead of the hustle list. After the scripted user said goodbye in the first run, Haiku printed pretend tool calls when asked to apply the change; in the final run it said "Done" for changes it had only shown, not written. + +### h1 Understand the hook + +Good answer: names every check the hook README lists (verdict dot in the subject, an HTML body file that exists, the job link button with a real link above the verdict, the Scores section and bars and the Checks section, no unfilled placeholders), what it lets through, the settings snippet, and exit code 2 as the blocking code. + +- Sonnet and Haiku: PASS on both runs. + +## How to rerun + +From `pipelines/job-assessment/`, with the `claude` command line installed and signed in: + +```text +python3 tests/prompt-runs/run_prompts.py # all ten prompts, both models +python3 tests/prompt-runs/run_prompts.py --only p3 --models haiku +``` + +It overwrites the records in this folder.

A neutral middle, not zero.** + +**Qualifications**: Can you actually do this job? +- Start with 10 points. +- If the job asks for more years than you have, or deep expertise in a narrow thing: minus 2 points (once). +- Each skill gap you know about (you have 0-1 on something required): minus up to 1 point. +- Your working style doesn't match theirs: minus 3 points. + +**Culture**: What does the posting say about how people are treated? +- Start with 5 points, because silence tells you nothing. +- Big perks (like unlimited PTO): plus 2 points each. +- Nice perks: plus 1 point each. +- Strong positive phrases: plus 1 point each. +- Few vacation days: minus 2 points. +- Hustle phrases like "rockstar" or "on-call": minus 1 point each (max 3). +- Red flags like "no engineering support": minus 1 point each. +- Negative phrases: minus 1 point each. + +All scores are rounded to whole numbers, then clamped to 0–10. + +--- + +## The Verdict Rules (In Order) + +The tool checks five rules in this exact order. The first one that fires decides your verdict, and nothing after it matters. + +**Rule 1: Hard block.** Does the posting match one of your hard blocks, and no exception covers it? → **Skip** + +**Rule 2: Job-type override.** Does the job need a skill that is core daily work, but you have zero evidence of ever doing it? (Example: it's a Go backend role and you've never written Go code.) → **Skip** + +**Rule 3: Score floor.** Is Fit at 5 or below, or Qualifications at 5 or below? → **Skip** + +**Rule 4: Reservations band.** Is Comp at 3 or below, or Culture at 3 or below, or is the average of Fit and Qualifications below 7? → **Apply with reservations** + +**Rule 5: Apply.** Nothing above fired. → **Apply** + +The company's name is never an input. A famous employer cannot talk its way past these rules. + +--- + +## What the Tool Refuses to Do + +- **Predict whether you'll be hired.** It's not a model of hiring. It only checks whether a job matches your stated needs. +- **Trust the model's tone reading.** If the model misquotes the posting, the code catches it. But if the model quotes real words and reads them the wrong way, code cannot know. +- **Fetch anything from outside the posting.** No web search, no company research, no [a company-review site]. +- **Send email.** It writes a summary card to a local HTML file on your machine. +- **Use machine learning or AI to decide.** The model reads and quotes. Scripts do the checking and math. The verdict rules are written code. + +--- + +# Your Turn: Three Questions + +I'll ask one at a time. Wait for your answer before I ask the next one. + +## Question 1 + +What does it mean that "unlisted pay scores a neutral 5"?

A good answer gives the rule order as hard block, job-type override, Fit and Qualifications floor, reservations band, then Apply, and says unlisted pay scores a neutral 5. + +### Model + +# How the job assessment tool works + +## 1. The career-profile file + +This file is everything the tool knows about you. It is one YAML file. In the sample, the person is Robin Sample, an invented writer. + +It holds: + +- **Who you are:** target roles, years of experience, a location label, and a working style. +- **What you refuse:** hard blocks, such as gambling or weapons. A named exception can allow one company despite a block. +- **What you need:** five pay numbers (floor, min, open ask, target, stretch ceiling) and your culture tastes. Culture tastes are perks you like, hustle phrases you dislike, and the minimum time off you want. +- **What roles you want:** each "lane" has its own must-haves. Each must-have is strong or soft. +- **Your history:** employers, and evidence entries (the accomplishments). +- **Your skills:** a 0 to 5 self-score for each. + +**Why every claim needs a source.** The tool is only as honest as this file. So the file separates what you say from what you can show. + +- A self-score is your own opinion. It is never evidence. +- Each evidence entry says who did the work: wrote it, co-wrote it, directed it, or someone else did. +- Each entry says whether a document backs it. `proof: checked` means someone read a link or document. Claims from an interview or a reference stay `unchecked`. +- A qualification only counts if it points at a real evidence entry. +- The code rejects entries marked `do_not_use` or written by another author. Robin's wiki entry is one example. +- The validator also refuses a file that marks interview-only claims as checked. + +## 2. One posting becomes four scores + +The flow is simple. A model reads the posting and writes a **findings file**. Scripts check it, then count. + +**The model's job.** It rates each of your criteria as strong, fair, weak, poor, or unknown. It must quote the posting for every rating except unknown. If the posting is silent, the rating is unknown. It does not guess. + +**The checker's job.** It confirms every quote is really in the posting. It confirms every evidence id is real and is yours. + +**The scoring.** Each score runs 0 to 10. Each is rounded half up (8.5 becomes 9). + +| Score | Question it answers | Start | How it moves | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Fit** | Does the job's shape match what you want? | 10 | Each strong must-have rated weak costs 1.5, poor costs 3, and unknown costs 1.5. A soft must-have rated weak or poor costs 1. Bad autonomy costs 2. Core daily work in a skill you want to avoid costs 1 each, up to 2. | +| **Comp** | Is the base pay enough? | n/a | Only the top of the listed base range counts. At or above target is 10. At or above min is 8. At or above floor is 3. Below floor is 1. **Unlisted pay scores a neutral 5, not 0.** | +| **Qualifications** | Can you do this job, going by your evidence? | 10 | Too many years or too narrow a sub-domain costs 2, once. Known gaps and weak self-scores on load-bearing lines cost 1 each, up to a combined cap of 4. A working-style mismatch costs 3. | +| **Culture** | How does the posting say people are treated? | 5 | A big perk adds 2. A nice perk adds 1. A strong positive phrase adds 1. Low time off costs 2. Hustle phrases cost 1 each, up to 3. Each soft flag costs 1. Each negative phrase costs 1. | + +Culture starts at 5 for the same reason Comp does: silence tells you nothing. + +Take posting 03 as an example. Fit comes to 7, Comp to 5, Qualifications to 6, and Culture to 9. + +## 3. The verdict rules, in exact order + +`verdict.py` checks these top to bottom. The first rule that fires decides. Nothing after it is looked at. + +1. **Hard block.** The posting trips one of your hard blocks and no named exception covers the company. Verdict: **Skip**. +2. **Job-type override.** A required skill central to the daily work has no evidence at all. It is a different job with a familiar title. Verdict: **Skip**. +3. **Fit and Qualifications floor.** Fit is 5 or lower, or Qualifications is 5 or lower. Verdict: **Skip**. +4. **Reservations band.** Comp is 3 or lower, or Culture is 3 or lower, or the average of Fit and Qualifications is under 7. Verdict: **Apply with reservations**. +5. **Apply.** Nothing above fired. Verdict: **Apply**. + +Posting 03 reaches rule 4. Its average is (7 + 6) / 2 = 6.5, which is under 7. So the verdict is Apply with reservations. + +## 4. What the tool refuses to do + +- **It refuses a model's verdict.** A score or verdict typed by the model is ignored. Only the findings count. +- **It refuses made-up quotes.** A quote not found in the posting text fails the check. Case, spacing, and curly quotes are ignored. Words are not. +- **It refuses fake or borrowed evidence.** The evidence id must exist, must not be `do_not_use`, and must not be someone else's work. +- **It refuses generic "no say" readings.** Phrases like "work closely with" appear in almost every senior posting. They alone cannot prove poor autonomy. +- **It refuses to look at the company's name.** `verdict.py` takes four numbers and two flags. A famous or favorite employer cannot change the outcome. +- **It refuses contact details.** The profile has no field for them, and the validator rejects anything shaped like an email or phone number. +- **It refuses to guess.** Silence becomes unknown, not a guess. +- **It refuses to send email.** The summary card is a local HTML file. +- **It refuses to research the company.** It uses only the posting. +- **It refuses to promise results.** It does not predict hiring. It cannot catch a real quote read too kindly. The live run on the "You can document our mobile SDK" line shows this. The mistake sat in one visible field, so a person can fix it. + +--- + +## Quiz + +I'll ask three questions, one at a time. Here is the first. + +**Question 1:** A posting never mentions pay at all.

I listed this as a known_gaps_hit because the profile flags Go reading as a gap for this lane. But the phrasing is "follow how it works," not "modify the build tool"—Robin might only need to understand existing code, not write it. The known gap might still fire for deeper integration, but this could read as just "understand the context." Could go either way, but the profile's explicit lane-level gap deserves precedence. + +2. **ci_for_docs rating as "fair" vs "strong."** The posting says they currently build by hand but want automation. This is a soft requirement (bonus) that Robin can absolutely build. I rated it "fair" because there's work to do here (not strong), but it could read as "strong" since it's exactly Robin's wheelhouse and they've done this before. The fair rating reflects: it's a real gap to fill, not an existing strength being confirmed. + +3. **autonomy.net as "positive" vs "strong."** I found two strong positive signals (chooses tools, sets priorities, weekly check-in). No negative signals. The tone is permissive and specific, not generic "collaborate" language. I rated "positive" (not "strong" as a rating) because that's the net field's enum, not a judgment of strength—this is the right category, but I double-checked that the quotes are about agency, not just pleasant language. diff --git a/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/p3-sonnet-v1.md b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/p3-sonnet-v1.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..da70330 --- /dev/null +++ b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/p3-sonnet-v1.md @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ + +# Prompt run: Run on my first posting, on sonnet + +- Prompt file: `prompts/03-run-first-posting.txt` +- Date: 2026-10-01.

The document never says so outside that example. + +**4. A strong must-have the findings never mention** +Rule: "strong or fair costs 0, weak costs 1.5, poor costs 3, unknown costs 1.5." +Sentence: *A strong must-have with no rating in the findings is scored as unknown and costs 1.5, while a silent soft must-have, perk or other item costs nothing.* + +**5. Years and sub-domain** +Rule: "Asking for more years than the person has, or for years in a narrow sub-domain, costs 2 (once)." +Sentence: *If a posting asks for more years than the person has and also for years in a narrow sub-domain, the two together cost 2 in total, not 2 each.* + +**6.

My sentence reads it as one combined cap of 4, which is the most natural reading but should be confirmed. + +**7. Choosing the pay tier** +Rule: "the person's named location, else a nationwide or 'everywhere else' tier, else the lowest tier." +Sentence: *The code picks the tier: first one whose label contains the person's location label, else one whose label says nationwide, national, everywhere else, all other or similar, else the tier with the lowest top, and the model's tier_used is ignored.* +Two gaps remain: what counts as "similar", and what happens if two tiers match the location. The document doesn't say, so I haven't invented an answer. + +**8. Low time off** +Rule: "Low time off (below the person's threshold, or accrual only) costs 2." +Sentence: *Time off is low, costing 2, when it is accrual only or when a stated number of days is under the person's threshold, and only if the posting gives neither does the model's flag decide.* + +**9. Hustle phrases** +Rule: "Each hustle phrase costs 1, at most 3", with "Fast-paced" on a list of phrases that cost nothing. +Sentence: *A quoted hustle phrase on the person's free_phrases list costs nothing, and any other quoted hustle phrase costs 1, up to 3 in total, whether or not it is on the person's hustle_phrases list.* + +**10. Unlisted pay in Culture** +Rule: "unlisted pay is never a Culture cost because Comp already scored it." +Sentence: *A soft flag whose id is no_pay_transparency or unlisted_pay, or which only says pay is not listed, costs nothing in Culture.* +The document says "ids such as", so the set is open-ended. The author should decide whether to list the ids exactly. + +**11. Generic autonomy phrases** +Rule: "A read that autonomy is poor rests only on generic phrases... If that is all the posting says, the honest rating is unknown." +Sentence: *An autonomy quote is generic only if it contains a generic phrase such as "partner with", "work closely" or "stakeholder" and none of the decision phrases such as "approval", "sign-off", "reports to" or "ownership", and a poor read resting only on generic quotes must be rated unknown.* + +**12. Where a quote may come from** +Rule: "Case, spaces, curly quotes and dashes are ignored. Words are not." +Sentence: *A quote must appear in the posting text itself, matching ignoring case, spaces, curly quotes and dashes but not words, and in a saved note only text below the "Full posting text" heading counts.* + +**13. Repeats** +Rule: "A big perk adds 2... Each hustle phrase costs 1... Each tripped soft flag costs 1." +Sentence: *The same perk, phrase or soft flag quoted more than once adds or costs once, and the hustle cap of 3 and the Culture cap of 10 apply after that.* + +**14. Email autonomy row** +Rule: "Autonomy that reads net negative costs 2", next to a card that shows autonomy on the strong-to-poor scale. +Sentence: *The email card's autonomy row shows net positive as strong, neutral as fair and net negative as poor, and this display mapping changes no score.* + +## Further ambiguities not under Interpretations + +These affect scoring, but the document doesn't pin an answer, so I can't write a sentence without inventing a rule. Each needs the author's decision. + +- **"Net negative" autonomy (Fit)** is never defined against the five-level scale. Does only poor count, or does weak count too? Item 14 gives a mapping, but only for display. +- **"Load-bearing", "core daily work" and "central to the daily work"** (Fit, Qualifications, rule 4a) are left to the model's judgment, with no test. +- **"No evidence behind it at all" (rule 4a):** it is unclear whether `proof: unchecked` evidence counts, and whether a `{skill_id, status: unproven}` entry triggers 4a. +- **Hard block exceptions (rule 1):** the rule says "no named exception covers this company", but the document also says "The company's name is not an input" to verdict.py. Presumably the findings decide this before verdict.py runs, but it isn't stated. +- **Trigger label when several 4c conditions fire:** the labels are `4c comp`, `4c culture`, `4c comp and culture` and `4c average`. If Comp is low and the average is also under 7, the label is unspecified. The verdict is the same, but the label has to match fixtures/expected.yaml. +- **Pay shape:** "score the **top** of its range" doesn't say what to do with a single figure or an open-ended "from X" range. + +## Rules that may be wrong (not changed above) + +- **Comp 3 always triggers 4c.** Pay at or above floor but below min scores 3, and rule 4c fires at "Comp is 3 or lower". That makes the "at or above floor 3" tier a guaranteed reservation. It may be intended, but it's worth confirming. +- **Hustle phrases outside the person's list still cost 1.** This makes the `hustle_phrases` list pointless. It also lets the model add a cost from a phrase the profile never listed, which cuts against "the model reads, the code decides". The checker only requires a real quote. +- **Silent strong must-haves are allowed.** The document says "Every requirement in the lane gets a rating", yet item 4 prices a missing one and none of the seven checks rejects a missing rating. Either the checker should reject it, or the sentence about ratings should be softened. +- **Half-point costs plus half-up rounding** can move a verdict.

Read its scoring and verdict rules. List every place where two careful readers could score the same posting differently, quote the rule, and propose one sentence that removes the ambiguity. Each sentence only clarifies: it keeps every number, band, cap and rule order exactly as the Scoring rules and Verdict rules tables state them, so check each sentence against those tables before you write it.

A good answer covers every item listed under Interpretations and does not invent new rules. + +### Model + +I checked each sentence below against the Scoring rules and Verdict rules tables. None changes a number, band, cap or rule order. Items 1-14 follow the Interpretations list in order, then the three judgment calls, then gaps the Interpretations list doesn't cover. + +## Clarifying sentences + +**1. Fair on a soft must-have.** +Rule: "For each **soft** must-have: weak or poor costs 1, anything else costs 0." +Split: "anything else" could be read to leave unknown or fair open. +Sentence: *A soft must-have costs 1 when rated weak or poor and 0 when rated strong, fair or unknown.* + +**2. Pay between open ask and target.** +Rule: "at or above target 10; at or above min 8; at or above floor 3; below floor 1." +Split: the profile stores five pay numbers, so a reader might treat the open ask or stretch ceiling as a band edge. +Sentence: *Only target, min and floor are score boundaries, so any top at or above min and below target scores 8 regardless of the open ask.* + +**3. Rounding before the verdict.** +Rule: "rounded half up to a whole number (8.5 becomes 9, not 8) before the verdict rules run" and "the average of Fit and Qualifications is under 7". +Split: the average could be taken from unrounded scores, and the 5-or-lower floor could be tested on raw values. +Sentence: *Every verdict test, including the Fit and Qualifications average, uses the rounded whole-number scores, so an average of 6.5 is under 7 and an average of 7 is not.* + +**4. Silent must-haves.** +Rule: "unknown costs 1.5" (strong must-have), and "anything else costs 0" (soft). +Split: it is unclear whether a requirement the findings omit is skipped or scored as unknown. +Sentence: *A strong must-have missing from the findings is scored as unknown and costs 1.5, while a missing soft must-have, perk, phrase or flag costs 0.* + +**5. Years and narrow sub-domain.** +Rule: "Asking for more years than the person has, or for years in a narrow sub-domain, costs 2 (once)." +Split: "or" could mean both conditions together cost 4. +Sentence: *If the posting asks for too many years, for years in a narrow sub-domain, or both, the total cost is 2.* + +**6. Known gaps and self-score gaps.** +Rule: "Each load-bearing known gap costs 1, and self-scores of 0 or 1 on load-bearing lines share the same cap of 4 (one skill is never counted twice)." +Split: it is unclear whether the cap is per type or shared, and what a self-score gap costs. The worked example's Kubernetes line shows 1. +Sentence: *Load-bearing known gaps and load-bearing self-scores of 0 or 1 form one set with one entry per skill, each entry costs 1, and the set costs at most 4 in total.* + +**7. Pay tier selection.** +Rule: "the person's named location, else a nationwide or 'everywhere else' tier, else the lowest tier". +Split: "lowest tier" could mean the lowest label, the lowest floor or the lowest top, and the model might choose the tier itself. +Sentence: *The code picks the tier, ignoring the model's tier_used: the tier whose label contains the person's location label, otherwise one labelled nationwide, national, everywhere else or all other, otherwise the tier with the lowest top.* +Note: Interpretation 7 ends with "or similar", which stays open-ended. The author should either close that list or accept it as a judgment call. + +**8. Low time off.** +Rule: "Low time off (below the person's threshold, or accrual only) costs 2." +Split: it is unclear whether a number equal to the threshold is low, and what happens when the posting gives no number. +Sentence: *Time off costs 2 when it is accrual-only or states a number of days strictly under the person's threshold, and when neither applies, the model's low-time-off flag decides.* + +**9. Hustle phrases.** +Rule: "Each hustle phrase costs 1, at most 3", with free phrases "cost nothing". +Split: it is unclear whether only phrases on the person's hustle list count. +Sentence: *Each distinct quoted hustle phrase not on the person's free_phrases list costs 1, whether or not it is on their hustle_phrases list, and the hustle total is at most 3.* + +**10. Unlisted pay and soft flags.** +Rule: "unlisted pay is never a Culture cost because Comp already scored it." +Split: a soft flag about pay transparency could be read as a separate Culture cost. +Sentence: *A soft flag that concerns unlisted pay costs nothing in Culture; unlisted pay is scored only by Comp, as 5.* + +**11. Generic autonomy phrases.** +Rule (from the `check_findings.py` list): "A read that autonomy is poor rests only on generic phrases". +Split: a quote that contains both a generic phrase and a decision phrase is ambiguous. +Sentence: *An autonomy quote is generic only if it contains a generic collaboration phrase and no phrase that says who decides, so a quote containing both is not generic.* + +**12. Where quotes must come from.** +Rule: "its quote is not in the posting text". +Split: in a saved note, "posting text" could include the front matter or the assessment block. +Sentence: *A quote counts only if it appears in the posting text itself, which in a saved note is only the text below the "Full posting text" heading.* + +**13. Repeats.** +Rule: "A big perk adds 2... Each hustle phrase costs 1... Each tripped soft flag costs 1." +Split: the same item quoted twice could count twice. +Sentence: *The same perk, phrase or soft flag quoted more than once adds or costs once, and any cap is applied after duplicates are removed.* + +**14. Email card autonomy row.** +Rule: none in the tables, and the card is display only. +Split: a reader might think the card's strong/fair/poor labels feed Fit. +Sentence: *The email card's autonomy row shows net positive as strong, neutral as fair and negative as poor, and changes no score.* + +## The three judgment calls + +The tables name three phrases that the code can't decide. I can't see the `assessment/SKILL.md` step 3e definitions, so these sentences point to them rather than restate them. + +**15. "Load-bearing" (Qualifications).** +Rule: "Each load-bearing known gap costs 1". +Sentence: *"Load-bearing" is decided by the definition in assessment/SKILL.md step 3e, applied the same way to every posting.* + +**16. "Core daily work" (Fit).** +Rule: "Each skill the person would rather avoid that is core daily work in this job costs 1, at most 2 in total." +Sentence: *"Core daily work" is decided by the definition in assessment/SKILL.md step 3e, applied the same way to every posting.* + +**17. "Central to the daily work" and "no evidence behind it at all" (rule 4a).** +Rule: "A required skill that is central to the daily work has no evidence behind it at all." +Split: the "no evidence" half is checkable, so it needs its own sentence. +Sentence: *A skill has evidence only when a finding cites an existing, usable evidence id for work the person did themself, and a self-score or an unproven status never counts as evidence.* +This follows the central-file section ("A self-score is the person's own claim, never evidence"). "Central to the daily work" stays a step 3e judgment. The author should say whether it is the same test as item 16. + +## Gaps the Interpretations list doesn't cover + +I can't resolve these with a clarifying sentence, because any answer would be a new rule. The author has to choose. + +- **"Autonomy that reads net negative costs 2."** It's unclear whether only a poor rating counts or weak does too. Item 14's display mapping suggests poor only, but that is display, not scoring. +- **"Top of its range" for a single figure or an open-ended "$X+" posting.** The rule doesn't say what the top is. +- **"Strong positive phrase", "negative phrase", "working-style mismatch" and whether a hard block is tripped.** These are model judgments with no stated definition here. + +## Rules that may be wrong + +I haven't changed any of these. + +1. **Unlisted pay scores 5 and avoids rule 4c, while listed pay just above floor scores 3 and can trigger it.** Hiding pay can produce a better verdict than disclosing low pay. +2. **Rounding before the thresholds.** A raw Fit of 5.4 rounds to 5 and fires the floor ("5 or lower"), while 5.5 does not. Items 3 and the table together create a cliff at an arbitrary half-point. +3. **Unknown costs the same as weak on a strong must-have (1.5 each).** Silence in the posting is penalised like a real shortfall, which conflicts with Culture's "silence tells you nothing". +4. **Negative phrases are uncapped, while hustle phrases are capped at 3.** Nothing explains the difference. +5. **The open ask is stored but never used in scoring**, and per item 9 the `hustle_phrases` list has no effect on cost. Both fields suggest rules the code doesn't apply. +6. **Rule 1 depends on the company.** Hard blocks are skipped when "a named exception covers this company", but the document says "The company's name is not an input" to `verdict.py`. Presumably the exception is resolved upstream, but the document should say so. diff --git a/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/r2-haiku-v1.md b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/r2-haiku-v1.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..686e5b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/earlier-versions/r2-haiku-v1.md @@ -0,0 +1,295 @@ + +# Prompt run: Customize the rubric (assessment/README.md), on haiku + +- Prompt file: `prompts/r2-customize-rubric.txt` +- Date: 2026-10-01.

Unlimited PTO is the one people most often reconsider, because it can mean less time off in practice. + +Tell me your pick, and I'll show the exact YAML change before moving on to the next question (perks you'd add as big or nice, then hustle phrases). + +### User + +I'd keep Unlimited PTO and Extra paid days off as big—those are both meaningful to me. But learning budget should really be a nice perk instead, not a big one. That feels more accurate. + +### Model + +Here's the change. Only the `kind` on `learning_budget` moves: + +```yaml +culture: + perks: + - {id: unlimited_pto, label: Unlimited PTO, kind: big} +- - {id: learning_budget, label: Learning budget, kind: big} ++ - {id: learning_budget, label: Learning budget, kind: nice} + - {id: extra_days_off, label: Extra paid days off, kind: big} + - {id: offsites, label: Regular meetups or offsites, kind: nice} + - {id: home_office, label: Home-office or wellness stipend, kind: nice} + - {id: parental_leave, label: Paid parental leave, kind: nice} +``` + +A posting that mentions a learning budget now adds 1 to Culture instead of 2. In the worked example for posting 03, Culture would go from 9 to 8 (5 + 2 + 1). The verdict there doesn't change. If you run the fixture tests against this edited profile, though, the Culture score in `fixtures/expected.yaml` will no longer match, so keep this edit in your own copy rather than the fixture. + +**Question 2: perks to add** + +Is there a perk that isn't on your list but would matter to you? Examples: + +- Four-day week or Friday-off schedule +- Fully paid health coverage +- Retirement match +- Sabbatical +- Equipment budget +- Flexible hours + +Name any you'd add and say whether each is big (+2) or nice (+1). If none, say so and I'll move on to hustle phrases. + +### User + +None of those really stand out to me—I think the perks I have are already covering what matters. Let me skip ahead though: I do want to add 'hackathon weekends' as a hustle phrase, since that's something I'd actually enjoy and find energizing. And can you make Culture count double in the verdict? + +### Model + +**Hackathon weekends** + +You said you'd enjoy it, so I think it belongs in `free_phrases`, not `hustle_phrases`. A hustle phrase costs 1 Culture point each (up to 3), while a free phrase costs nothing. Putting it under hustle would penalize postings for something you like. Here's the change I'd make: + +```yaml +culture: + hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work] +- free_phrases: [fast-paced] ++ free_phrases: [fast-paced, hackathon weekends] +``` + +One caveat: `weekend work` stays on your hustle list. A posting that says "hackathon weekends" will contain the word "weekends", but the check matches whole quoted phrases, so the two shouldn't collide. Per interpretation 9, a phrase on `free_phrases` costs nothing even if the model also flags it. + +If you did want it to cost points, say so and I'll put it in `hustle_phrases` instead. + +**Culture counting double in the verdict** + +I'll leave that one out. It changes the verdict rules in `verdict.py`, and you asked me not to touch those. It's also not a YAML change: `verdict.py` takes four fixed scores and applies the rules in order, so nothing in `career-profile.yaml` can change how Culture is weighed there. + +What your profile can do is change how much Culture moves. You've already adjusted the perks, and the hustle list is the other lever. + +**Question 3: other hustle phrases** + +Your current hustle list is `rockstar`, `work hard play hard`, `on-call` and `weekend work`. Are there phrases you'd add that signal a culture you'd avoid, such as "ninja", "wear many hats", "thrive under pressure", "other duties as assigned", or "self-starter who needs no hand-holding"? Or is there one on the current list you'd drop or move to free? + +### User + +That makes sense actually—if I enjoy hackathon weekends, putting them in free_phrases means they don't count against me, which is better. So yes, go ahead with that. + +For the hustle phrases, I think the current list is fine. `Rockstar`, `work hard play hard`, `on-call`, and `weekend work` are all phrases I want to avoid, so I'll keep those. I don't have anything else to add or remove. + +### Model + +Both changes are settled, and the hustle list stays as it is. Here is the full `culture` block with everything combined: + +```yaml +culture: + perks: + - {id: unlimited_pto, label: Unlimited PTO, kind: big} + - {id: learning_budget, label: Learning budget, kind: nice} + - {id: extra_days_off, label: Extra paid days off, kind: big} + - {id: offsites, label: Regular meetups or offsites, kind: nice} + - {id: home_office, label: Home-office or wellness stipend, kind: nice} + - {id: parental_leave, label: Paid parental leave, kind: nice} + low_time_off_days: 15 + hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work] + free_phrases: [fast-paced, hackathon weekends] +``` + +Two things changed from what you attached: + +- `learning_budget` moved from big to nice, so it adds 1 to Culture instead of 2. +- `hackathon weekends` joined `free_phrases`, so it costs nothing. + +I haven't edited any file. I only have the text you pasted, and I don't know where your own `career-profile.yaml` lives. Paste the edits into your copy, then run this from `pipelines/job-assessment/` to confirm it's still valid: + +``` +python3 scripts/validate_profile.py career-profile.yaml +``` + +The verdict rules are untouched. If you want Culture weighted more heavily, that would be a change to `verdict.py` rather than your profile, and I can look at it separately if you decide you want that. + +### User + +Yes, that looks right. + +### Model + +Good. That finishes the rubric changes: + +- `learning_budget` is now a nice perk (+1 instead of +2). +- `hackathon weekends` is now a free phrase, so it costs nothing. +- Your other perks and the hustle list stay as they were, and the verdict rules are untouched. + +Next step is to paste the `culture` block into your own `career-profile.yaml` and run `python3 scripts/validate_profile.py career-profile.yaml`. If it prints problems, paste the output here and I'll walk through them. + +### User + +That's all, thanks. + +### Model + +You're welcome.

I read this as a gap (they don't have automation now), but it could also be read as an opportunity or a "fair" rating: the company clearly values automation, recognizes it matters, and is asking you to build it. The team isn't indifferent; they're asking for the fix. + +2. **Go language only appears once, but I weighted it in the verdict** — The requirement is "You can read Go code well enough to follow how our build tool works." This is reading, not writing, and appears only in one sentence. Robin's self_score is 1, which is low. I included it as the main caution in the verdict reason, but one could argue this is overstated (it's just code reading to understand a tool, not writing Go) or understated (the skill gap is real). + +3. **Autonomy based on one strong quote** — "You choose the tools and set the priorities for the docs system; your manager checks in once a week" is explicit and clear, but it's a single sentence. The context "with one other engineer to review your work" adds a governance layer that might read as closer to neutral autonomy rather than the strongly positive reading I gave it. However, peer code review is standard practice, not a signal of restricted autonomy. diff --git a/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/p3-sonnet.md b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/p3-sonnet.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e44cf1d --- /dev/null +++ b/pipelines/job-assessment/tests/prompt-runs/p3-sonnet.md @@ -0,0 +1,218 @@ + +# Prompt run: Run on my first posting, on sonnet + +- Prompt file: `prompts/03-run-first-posting.txt` +- Date: 2026-10-01.

The validator won't warn about weak evidence *within* an evidence list—only absence of evidence. This evidence is `proof: unchecked` from an interview with no artifact to verify, yet it's being scored as your highest skill. +- **Question:** Can you point to a documented artifact (a PR, a config file, CI logs, or documentation) that shows the link-checking build you set up, or was this pairing work where you implemented it together with someone else? + +--- + +### 2. **`hard_blocks[1].why` — Weapons hard block has no reason** +- **YAML path:** `hard_blocks[1]` (the weapons block) +- **Why it matters:** The validator warns about `strong` must-haves with no reason, but hard blocks aren't checked for this. Without a stated reason, a recruiter can't tell if this is an ethical boundary, a legal constraint, or something else—affecting how they'd present the role to you. +- **Question:** Why won't you work for weapons makers? Is it a personal value, a concern about the industry, or something else? + +--- + +### 3. **`lanes[1].requirements` — Tech-writing lane requirements copied verbatim from docs-platform** +- **YAML path:** `lanes[1].requirements` (and `lanes[1].autonomy`, `lanes[1].keyword_signals`) +- **Why it matters:** These roles are fundamentally different (one builds systems, one writes content), yet both demand "Owns the docs build" as a strong requirement. The validator can't catch copy-paste; only humans notice when a requirement doesn't match the role's actual needs. +- **Question:** For a pure tech-writing role, do you need to own the docs build system itself, or would you prefer to write excellent content *within* a system that already exists? + +--- + +## **Additional weak spots:** + +### 4. **`evidence[0].authorship: DIRECTED` — Thin for a claimed skill** +- **YAML path:** `skills[0].evidence_ids[0]` → `evidence[0].authorship` +- **Why it matters:** You scored OpenAPI 4, but the evidence shows you *directed* the API spec work, not that you implemented the spec generation or wrote against it. For a technical writer, this means you supervised someone else's work. +- **Question:** Did you implement the system that generates the API reference from the spec, or did you write the reference documentation after someone else built the system? + +--- + +### 5. **Last-used dates don't match evidence end dates** +- **YAML path:** `skills[0].last`, `skills[1].last`, `skills[2].last` +- **Why it matters:** All three scored skills claim `last: "2y"`, but evidence shows: + - `openapi`: last evidence 2021-09 (4.8 years ago) + - `docs_ci`: last evidence 2023-06 (3.3 years ago) + - `style_guides`: last evidence 2022-08 (4.1 years ago) + + The validator can't connect `last` to evidence dates; a mismatch suggests either the skill is rustier than claimed, or the profile wasn't kept in sync. +- **Question for each:** When did you actually *last use* each of these skills hands-on, and what did you do? + +--- + +**Summary:** The validator missed the three planted gaps (weak evidence quality, missing hard-block reason, and cloned requirements) because it checks *structure*, not *judgment*.

Unchecked evidence a posting would lean on + +**`evidence[1].proof: unchecked`** (`ev-placeholder-docs-ci`) +- **Why it matters:** This is the only evidence behind the skill scored 5, and it supports the "owns the docs build" requirement in `lanes[0].requirements[1]`. It is the most likely thing for a posting to test, and it is the least verified. +- **Question:** "Is there a link, a repo file, a PR, or a reference who can confirm the link-check work so it can move to `checked`?" + +**`writing_samples[0].evidence_id`** +- **Why it matters:** The sample is a getting-started guide, but it points at `ev-northwind-api-rebuild`, which is about generating the API reference.

Must-haves or hard blocks with no reason + +**`hard_blocks[1]` (`weapons`) has no `why`** +- **Why it matters:** The validator only warns about strong must-haves, not hard blocks.

Whether hybrid is acceptable changes which postings get screened out. +- **Question:** "Is a hybrid role with a few office days within walking or commuting range ever acceptable?" + +**`lanes[0].requirements[2]` and `lanes[1].requirements[2]` (`small_team`), `severity: soft`, no `why`** +- **Why it matters:** It's soft, so the validator won't flag it. It still sways scoring, and without a reason it can't be weighed against other signals. +- **Question:** "What does 'small' mean to you in headcount, and what goes wrong for you on a larger team?" + +## 5.

With identical rules, both lanes score every posting the same, so the lane choice tells you nothing. `owns_pipeline` as a strong must-have also contradicts `lanes[1].description` ("writing and editing"): a writing-focused role would normally not own the build. That makes the `tech-writing` lane unlikely to match the roles it is meant to find. +- **Question:** "For a role that is mostly writing, which of these must-haves would you actually insist on, and what would you want to see that the docs-platform lane doesn't ask for?" + +Related: `lanes[1].known_gaps` is empty while `lanes[0].known_gaps` names Kubernetes.

Tell me if you want to revisit it. + +If you ever score the Robin sample fixture with this change, its posting 03 Culture score would drop from 9 to 8, because the Learning budget perk there would be worth 1 instead of 2. Make these edits in your own `career-profile.yaml`, not in the fixture, or the fixture tests will fail against `expected.yaml`. + +**Question 2: is there a perk missing from your list that you'd count as big or nice?** + +A perk can only add to Culture if it's in `culture.perks`, so anything not listed is ignored. Candidates people often add: +- Four-day week or summer Fridays (big) +- Equity or profit sharing (nice) +- Sabbatical (big) +- Conference travel paid (nice) +- Flexible hours (nice) + +If you pick one, the YAML would look like this, using a new unique id: + +```yaml +- {id: four_day_week, label: Four-day week, kind: big} +``` + +Tell me which of these you want, give me your own perks with big or nice for each, or say none and we'll move on to hustle phrases. + +### User + +None of those—I think the ones we have are solid. Let's move on to the hustle phrases. + +### Model + +Here's how hustle phrases work now: + +- Each hustle phrase the model quotes from a posting costs 1 Culture point, up to 3 in total. +- A phrase on `free_phrases` costs nothing, and "fast-paced" is on yours. +- Per Interpretation 9, the model can quote a hustle phrase that isn't on your list and it still costs 1. The `hustle_phrases` list mostly tells the model what to look for, so a listed phrase is more likely to get caught. + +Your current `hustle_phrases` are: rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work. + +**Question 3: which phrases should be added to the hustle list?** + +These are common ones that signal overwork or unclear boundaries and aren't on your list yet: +- wear many hats +- we're like a family +- scrappy +- ninja +- thrive in ambiguity +- flexible hours when needed (often means "available whenever") + +Adding the first three would look like this: + +```yaml +# culture.hustle_phrases +# before +hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work] +# after +hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work, wear many hats, we're like a family, scrappy] +``` + +Pick any from the list, give me your own phrases, or say none. Keep in mind that each phrase you add can cost a point on a posting, so only add ones you'd really hold against a job. After this I'll ask whether anything on your list should move to `free_phrases`, or whether "fast-paced" should stay free. + +### User + +I want to add 'hackathon weekends' to the hustle phrases. That's the one that bugs me—it sounds like fun but it's really just unpaid work on top of your regular job. And can you make Culture count double in the verdict? + +### Model + +Here's the hustle phrase change: + +```yaml +# culture.hustle_phrases +# before +hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work] +# after +hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work, hackathon weekends] +``` + +A posting that says "hackathon weekends" now costs 1 Culture point, and the cap of 3 across all hustle phrases still applies. + +On making Culture count double, I haven't done that. You asked me not to change the verdict rules at the start, and this is a verdict rule. Culture only enters the verdict through rule 4c (Culture of 3 or lower puts a job in Apply with reservations), and that lives in `verdict.py`, not in `career-profile.yaml`, so no YAML edit can do it. The closest thing the YAML can do is make Culture lower more often. More hustle phrases and fewer big perks both push scores down, which makes the 4c trigger fire sooner. + +If you do want Culture weighted more in the verdict, that's a separate change to `verdict.py`, its tests and ARCHITECTURE.md. Tell me explicitly that you want to lift the "no verdict changes" restriction, and I'll treat it as its own task. + +**Question 4: should anything move onto your `free_phrases` list, or should "fast-paced" come off it?** + +"Fast-paced" is free now, so a posting using it costs nothing. If a fast pace bothers you, you can remove it: + +```yaml +# before +free_phrases: [fast-paced] +# after +free_phrases: [] +``` + +Note that removing it won't make it cost anything by default. It only costs a point if the model quotes it as a hustle phrase, so you'd also need to add it to `hustle_phrases` for it to be reliably caught. + +You can keep it free, remove it, or tell me about other phrases you want to treat as harmless, such as "startup environment" or "small team". + +### User + +Keep fast-paced free. I think we're all set with these changes. + +### Model + +Here's the full set of changes, all in the `culture` section of your `career-profile.yaml`: + +```yaml +culture: + perks: + - {id: unlimited_pto, label: Unlimited PTO, kind: big} + - {id: learning_budget, label: Learning budget, kind: nice} # was big + - {id: extra_days_off, label: Extra paid days off, kind: big} + - {id: offsites, label: Regular meetups or offsites, kind: nice} + - {id: home_office, label: Home-office or wellness stipend, kind: nice} + - {id: parental_leave, label: Paid parental leave, kind: nice} + low_time_off_days: 15 + hustle_phrases: [rockstar, work hard play hard, on-call, weekend work, hackathon weekends] # added hackathon weekends + free_phrases: [fast-paced] +``` + +Nothing else changed.

Haiku is now partial on the profile-building prompt, the isolation claim is narrowed, and an over-broad path scrub is fixed.
