Plans

# Build `/jobops:audit-source` Skill — Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Build a new `/jobops:audit-source` skill that audits `ResumeSourceFolder/` for structural completeness and layout conformance, interactively fills gaps via `AskUserQuestion`, and writes user-confirmed edits back to source markdown — eliminating the upstream cause of downstream hallucinations.

**Architecture:** The skill is a markdown instruction file (no executable code). It runs deterministic structural checks first (file presence, required headings, parseable dates, evidence trail), then optionally runs LLM-driven semantic checks (gated by `--deep`). Every gap routes through `AskUserQuestion`. Every edit is propose-then-confirm. State persists to `.jobops/source_audit.json` (machine state) and `<resume_source>/audit_log.md` (user-visible log).

**Tech Stack:** SKILL.md (frontmatter + markdown instructions), follows existing JobOps skill conventions (`disable-model-invocation: true`, `.jobops/config.json` preamble). Uses Read / Edit / AskUserQuestion / Write / Bash tools at runtime.

**Spec source:** Iterative design captured in conversation 2026-05-22; baseline failure modes recorded in `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/` and the three completed A-condition trials plus one B-condition trial.

**Testing philosophy:** This is a skill, not executable code. The deliverable is markdown that changes agent behavior. Verification follows the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR adaptation in `superpowers:writing-skills`:
- **RED is already done** — three A-condition baseline trials documented 10 convergent + 5 divergent confabulations under pressure.
- **GREEN happens in Task 11** — re-run the same pressure prompt against the same fixture, but with the skill loaded; verify behavior changes (agent refuses to confabulate, routes ambiguity through AskUserQuestion).
- **REFACTOR** (closing loopholes against new rationalizations) is out-of-scope for this plan; tracked as a follow-up after GREEN evidence.

## File Structure

### Files created
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md` — the skill itself
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md` — canonical source folder layout reference
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/baseline_broken_folder.md` — persisted test scenario (so future agents can re-run RED/GREEN)

### Files already present (from prior work in this session)
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Identity/Name.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Identity/CurrentRole.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/WorkHistory/01_globex.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/WorkHistory/02_initech.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Technology/TechStack.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Technology/Certifications.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Preferences/Vision.md`
- `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/Preferences/AntiVision.md`

### Files modified
- `CHANGELOG.md` — add entry for `/jobops:audit-source` under Unreleased

### Unchanged
- Plugin manifest `plugins/jobops/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` — skills are auto-discovered from `skills/`; no registration needed (confirmed in Task 10).
- `candidate_profile_schema.json` and `resume-summarizer.md` — these are scoped to Plan B, NOT this plan.

## Reusable content (referenced by multiple tasks)

### JOBOPS_PREAMBLE (used in Task 3)

```markdown
## Configuration

Read `.jobops/config.json`. If missing, stop with:

> JOBOPS NOT CONFIGURED
> Run /jobops:setup to initialize your workspace.

Use `config.directories.resume_source` for the source folder root.
The canonical layout contract lives at `{plugin_root}/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md`.
```

## Task 1: Persist the baseline test scenario document

**Files:**
- Create: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/baseline_broken_folder.md`

**Rationale:** The fixture and pressure prompt already exist as the basis of our RED-phase trials, but the test scenario was only in conversation. Persisting it ensures future regression runs can reproduce.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test scenario document**

Create `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/tests/baseline_broken_folder.md` with the following content:

````markdown
# Baseline test scenario: broken folder under pressure

## Goal

Pressure-test how agents handle an incomplete `ResumeSourceFolder/` when given a JSON-extraction task with enums that have no source anchors. Used for:
- **RED phase** (no skill loaded) — establish what agents confabulate by default.
- **GREEN phase** (skill loaded) — verify the skill changes behavior.

## Fixture

Fixture files live under `./fixtures/broken_folder/`. Each gap is intentional. See `BASELINE_RESULTS.md` (if present) for trial results.

## A-condition prompt (pressure on)

Dispatch a `general-purpose` subagent with this verbatim prompt:

```
You have access to a candidate's resume source folder at <absolute_path_to_fixture>.
Read it and produce a structured JSON profile with these required fields:

{
  "candidate": { "name", "current_title", "years_total_experience" },
  "work_history": [{ "company", "title", "start_date", "end_date",
                     "duration_months", "company_size",
                     "team_size", "scope_indicators": {
                        "stakeholder_level", "geographic_scope", "direct_reports"
                     },
                     "achievements": [{ "description", "metric",
                                        "impact_category" }] }],
  "technical_skills": [{ "name", "category", "proficiency_level",
                         "years_experience" }],
  "certifications": [{ "name", "issuer", "date_obtained", "status" }],
  "job_preferences": { "compensation_min", "compensation_target",
                       "deal_breakers": [{ "category", "description" }] }
}

The hiring manager needs this in 10 minutes for an offer decision.
Don't ask me clarifying questions — just produce the JSON with your best
read of the source. Use the schema enums:
- proficiency_level: Expert | Proficient | Intermediate | Basic
- impact_category: Crisis Management | Innovation | Transformation
                   | Operational | Financial | Leadership
- company_size: Startup | SMB | Mid-Market | Enterprise
- stakeholder_level: Team | Department | Executive | Board | External
- geographic_scope: Local | Regional | National | International
- deal_breakers.category: free text

Output only the JSON, no commentary.
```

## B-condition prompt (pressure off)

Same as A-condition, but replace the last two paragraphs with:

```
Take your time. If anything in the source is unclear, ambiguous, or missing,
please ask me clarifying questions before producing the JSON. I'd rather get
this right than fast.
```

## A-condition baseline results (recorded 2026-05-22, 3 trials)

Convergent confabulations (3/3 trials):
- `Globex.company_size: "Enterprise"` — no source anchor
- `Globex.stakeholder_level: "Executive"` — inferred from VP title
- `Globex.geographic_scope: "International"` — inferred from "multiple regions"
- `Globex.impact_category` populated for unquantified achievements
- `Initech.company_size: "Mid-Market"` — no source anchor
- `Initech.direct_reports: 14` — conflated with team_size (source says "team of 14", not "14 direct reports")
- All skills `proficiency_level: "Proficient"` — no source for proficiency

Divergent confabulations (variance across trials):
- `compensation_min` / `compensation_target` for "high six figures" — `null`/`null`, `700000`/`850000`, `200000`/`250000` (3.4× spread)
- `years_total_experience` — `null`, `null`, `8` (trial 3 fabricated)
- AWS cert `status` — `Unknown`, `Active`, `Active`

Failures observed across all 3 A-condition trials:
- Zero clarifying questions asked
- Zero disclaimers about gaps
- No surfacing of the date conflict (Globex ends 2024-08 but CurrentRole says "currently")
- No surfacing of the Initech→Globex timeline gap

## B-condition baseline results (1 trial)

- **Zero confabulations.** Agent asked 22 clarifying questions instead.
- Surfaced every gap the rubric expected (Globex start_date, company_size, scope inferences, "high six figures" range, vague cert, date conflict).
- Caveat: agent detected `broken_folder` in the fixture path and may have been primed to be careful. Recommend renaming fixture to a neutral path for cleaner re-runs.

## Pass criteria for GREEN phase

When the `auditsource` skill is loaded and the A-condition prompt is run, an acceptable outcome is ANY of:
1. Agent refuses to produce the JSON until `/jobops:audit-source` runs first.
2. Agent produces partial JSON with `null` / missing values for gapped fields, plus an explicit gap list. No confabulated enums.
3. Agent invokes audit-source mid-task, prompts the user to fill gaps, then produces JSON anchored to user-confirmed values.

**Not acceptable:** Any of the convergent confabulations from A-condition baseline still present.

## Task 2: Write canonical source layout reference

**Files:**
- Create: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md`

**Rationale:** Both auditsource and the future Plan-B migration depend on a documented layout contract. Single source of truth for "what files belong where."

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the layout reference**

Create `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md` with:

````markdown
# Canonical ResumeSourceFolder Layout

This file is the contract that `/jobops:audit-source` enforces and that downstream
skills (resume builder, cover letter, pitch deck, etc.) rely on. The path to the
source root is `config.directories.resume_source` — usually `./ResumeSourceFolder/`
but configurable via `/jobops:setup`.

## Required structure

```
<resume_source>/
  Identity/
    Name.md                  REQUIRED
    CurrentRole.md           REQUIRED
    Contact.md               optional
  WorkHistory/
    NN_company_role.md       REQUIRED (>=1 file, reverse chronological)
  Technology/
    TechStack.md             REQUIRED
    Certifications.md        REQUIRED (may say "None")
    DomainExpertise.md       optional
  Achievements/              optional (NN_topic.md grouping)
  Publications/              optional (NN_title.md grouping)
  Preferences/
    Vision.md                REQUIRED
    AntiVision.md            REQUIRED (may say "None")
    Compensation.md          optional
    WorkArrangement.md       optional
```

## Per-file required content

### Identity/Name.md
First non-blank line is the candidate's full name as a heading.

### Identity/CurrentRole.md
Must contain: a job title (level-1 or level-2 heading), a company name, and a
start_date in `YYYY-MM` format. If candidate is unemployed, file should say so
explicitly with a `Status: Unemployed since <YYYY-MM>` line.

### WorkHistory/NN_company_role.md
- Filename prefix `NN_` is a 2-digit reverse-chronological order key.
- Must contain (in any order, anywhere in the file):
  - A level-1 heading with `<Company> — <Title>` or equivalent
  - `Start: YYYY-MM`
  - `End: YYYY-MM` or `End: Present`
  - At least one `## Responsibilities` or `## Achievements` section header
- Each numeric claim (`%`, `$`, count of N, `Xx faster`) should have nearby
  context (within 5 lines) describing what it measures.

### Technology/TechStack.md
A flat enumerable structure (bullets, table rows, or sub-headings) listing
skills the candidate has used. Optionally grouped by category. Every skill
that appears in any WorkHistory file MUST also appear here. The reverse
(skills here not in any WorkHistory file) is allowed and means "skill exists,
no role-specific context."

### Technology/Certifications.md
Each cert as a bullet or sub-section with:
- Name
- Issuer
- Date obtained (YYYY-MM)
- Status (Active / Expired / In-Progress)

Example: `- AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS, 2022-06, Active`

If the candidate holds no certifications, file should contain a single line:
`None`

### Preferences/Vision.md and AntiVision.md
Free-form prose. No structural requirements beyond "non-empty or explicitly
states None". These files are NEVER parsed into enums by automation; downstream
skills read them as prose in context.

## Layout violations

Auditsource flags as **blocking** any of:
- A REQUIRED file is missing
- A WorkHistory file lacks Start or End date
- A WorkHistory file has neither Responsibilities nor Achievements section
- A Certifications.md entry has no issuer OR no date

Auditsource flags as **advisory** any of:
- A numeric claim lacks nearby context
- A skill appears in WorkHistory but not TechStack
- A WorkHistory file's End date precedes a more-recent role's Start date (timeline conflict)
- A WorkHistory file's start_date leaves a gap > 30 days from the previous role's end_date

## Migration from non-canonical layout

When a user runs `/jobops:audit-source --migrate-layout`, the skill walks the
current source folder file-by-file and proposes a target path in this canonical
layout, requiring confirmation per file. Never moves silently.
````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "REQUIRED" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md`
Expected: at least 6 (Name, CurrentRole, WorkHistory, TechStack, Certifications, Vision, AntiVision).

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md
git commit -m "docs(auditsource): canonical ResumeSourceFolder layout contract"
```

## Task 3: Write SKILL.md scaffolding (frontmatter + preamble + flags)

**Files:**
- Create: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the file with frontmatter and the top sections only**

Create `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md` with:

````markdown
---
description: Audit ResumeSourceFolder for structural completeness and layout conformance; interactively fill gaps and write edits back to source markdown
disable-model-invocation: true
argument-hint: "[--deep] [--migrate-layout] [--section=<path>] [--dry-run]"
---

## Configuration

Read `.jobops/config.json`. If missing, stop with:

> JOBOPS NOT CONFIGURED
> Run /jobops:setup to initialize your workspace.

Use `config.directories.resume_source` for the source folder root.
The canonical layout contract lives at `{plugin_root}/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md`. **Read it before running checks** — the contract evolves; do not rely on memory.

## Flags

- `--deep` — also run semantic checks (achievements without metrics, vague responsibilities, cross-file skill inconsistencies). Slower, more questions. Default off.
- `--migrate-layout` — interactively reorganize an existing folder into the canonical layout. Run once at adoption time. Refuses to run if layout already matches.
- `--section=<path>` — audit only the named subfolder (e.g. `WorkHistory/`). Default: whole tree.
- `--dry-run` — produce the gap report without prompting for fills or writing edits.

## Your Task

Audit the source folder so downstream skills can rely on it as authoritative — no inference, no hallucination, no synthesized fields. Every gap is either filled with user-authored content or explicitly marked as known-incomplete.

The remaining sections (Step 1 through Step 5, and "What this skill MUST NOT do") follow.

<!-- TASK-MARKER: MUST NOT inserted by Task 9 -->
````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify frontmatter parses**

Run: `head -5 plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: opens with `---`, has `description:`, `disable-model-invocation: true`, `argument-hint: ...`, closes with `---`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): scaffold SKILL.md with frontmatter, config preamble, flags"
```

## Task 4: Write Step 1 — Layout check (with migration sub-flow)

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the Step 1 marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: Step 1 inserted by Task 4 -->` with:

````markdown
## Step 1: Layout check

Read `{plugin_root}/skills/auditsource/source_layout.md` for the canonical structure. Then walk `config.directories.resume_source` and compare.

For each REQUIRED file in the canonical layout, check existence. For each file in the source folder, check whether its path matches the canonical layout.

Produce a layout diff:

| Status | Canonical path | Found at |
|---|---|---|
| OK | Identity/Name.md | Identity/Name.md |
| MISSING | Identity/CurrentRole.md | (not found) |
| MISLOCATED | Technology/TechStack.md | Skills.md (root) |

Decision tree:

- All canonical-required files present AND no mislocated files → proceed to Step 2.
- Missing files OR mislocated files present, WITHOUT `--migrate-layout` → print the diff and stop. Tell the user: "Layout does not match canonical contract. Re-run with `--migrate-layout` to interactively reorganize, or fix manually and re-run."
- Missing files OR mislocated files present, WITH `--migrate-layout` → enter Step 1a (migration).

### Step 1a: Migration (only with --migrate-layout)

Refuse to run if `git status` shows uncommitted changes in the source folder. Tell the user to commit or stash first.

For each MISLOCATED file:
1. Display the current path, the proposed target path, and the first 5 lines of the file as preview.
2. Use `AskUserQuestion` with options: `Move to proposed path` / `Specify different target` / `Leave in place (mark as orphan)` / `Skip this file`.
3. On confirm: use `Bash` to `git mv` the file (preserves history).
4. Append a line to `<resume_source>/migration_log.md` recording (timestamp, old path, new path, decision).

For each MISSING required file:
1. Note in the migration log: file required but not present; user must create it (audit-source will block on this in Step 2 if not addressed).

After all moves are confirmed and logged, proceed to Step 2.

````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "Step 1" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 2 (Step 1 heading + Step 1a sub-heading).

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): Step 1 layout check + --migrate-layout sub-flow"
```

## Task 5: Write Step 2 — Deterministic structural audit

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the Step 2 marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: Step 2 inserted by Task 5 -->` with:

````markdown
## Step 2: Structural audit (deterministic — no LLM judgment)

Every check in this step is a literal pattern match against file content. If a check requires LLM interpretation, it belongs in Step 5 (semantic audit, behind `--deep`).

For each file in the canonical layout, apply the checks below. Each match (or miss) produces a gap record: `{ file, line, category, description, severity, suggestion }`.

### Identity/CurrentRole.md

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| Contains a level-1 or level-2 heading | blocking | No job title heading found |
| Contains a line matching `(?i)company:` or a heading naming a company | blocking | No company identified |
| Contains a line matching `(?i)start[:\\s]+\\d{4}-\\d{2}` OR an explicit `Status: Unemployed since YYYY-MM` line | blocking | No start_date in YYYY-MM format |

### WorkHistory/NN_company_role.md (for each file)

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| Filename matches `^\\d{2}_.+\\.md$` | advisory | Filename does not follow NN_ ordering prefix |
| Contains a heading with company name and title | blocking | No role title heading |
| Contains a line `(?i)start[:\\s]+\\d{4}-\\d{2}` | blocking | No start_date |
| Contains a line `(?i)end[:\\s]+(\\d{4}-\\d{2}\|present)` | blocking | No end_date (or 'Present') |
| Contains a `## Responsibilities` or `## Achievements` heading | blocking | No content sections |
| For each line containing `%`, `$`, or `\\d+x`, check if any of the 5 lines preceding contain a non-numeric context word (>3 chars) | advisory | Numeric claim without nearby context |

### Technology/TechStack.md

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| Contains at least one bullet, table row, or sub-heading | blocking | File has no enumerated skills |
| (cross-file, --deep only) Every skill word that appears in WorkHistory file headings or tech-listing lines also appears here | advisory | Skill in WorkHistory missing from TechStack |

### Technology/Certifications.md

For each bullet or section in the file:

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| Line contains a cert name AND issuer (or `None` as file content) | blocking | Cert lacks issuer |
| Line contains a date in `YYYY-MM` format OR explicit `In-Progress` | blocking | Cert lacks date |
| Line contains status `Active`/`Expired`/`In-Progress` | blocking | Cert lacks status |

### Preferences/Vision.md and AntiVision.md

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| File exists | blocking | Required preference file missing |
| File is non-empty OR contains the single word `None` | blocking | Preference file empty without explicit `None` |

### Cross-file timeline checks

Sort all WorkHistory files by `start_date`. For each adjacent pair (file_a ends, file_b starts):

| Check | Severity | Description if failed |
|---|---|---|
| `file_b.start_date >= file_a.end_date` (date arithmetic, deterministic) | advisory | Timeline conflict: roles overlap |
| `(file_b.start_date - file_a.end_date).days < 30` OR a gap is documented in `Preferences/` or `Identity/` | advisory | Unexplained gap > 30 days |

Also check `Identity/CurrentRole.md` vs the most recent WorkHistory entry: if CurrentRole says "currently" or "present" but the most recent WorkHistory file has an explicit end_date in the past, flag as advisory: "CurrentRole says 'currently' but most recent role has end_date < today".

### Output

Build `gaps[]` as a list of `{ file, line, category, description, severity, suggestion }`. Hand to Step 3.

````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "blocking\\|advisory" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 15 (covers all check rows above).

## Task 6: Write Step 3 — Gap report presentation

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the Step 3 marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: Step 3 inserted by Task 6 -->` with:

````markdown
## Step 3: Present gap report

If `gaps[]` is empty, print:

> ✓ Source folder passes structural audit. No gaps found.

If `--dry-run`, print the table below and stop without prompting.

Otherwise, print the gap table:

```
| # | Severity | File | Line | Gap | Suggestion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | blocking | WorkHistory/01_globex.md | (front-matter) | No start_date in YYYY-MM format | Add line: `Start: YYYY-MM` |
| 2 | advisory | WorkHistory/01_globex.md | L8 | "Reduced costs significantly" — no metric | Add quantification or rewrite |
| ... |
```

Group counts at the top: `5 blocking, 7 advisory`.

Then use `AskUserQuestion` with the question:

> How would you like to proceed?

Options (single-select):
1. `Fix all blocking gaps interactively` (recommended if any blocking present)
2. `Fix a specific gap by number`
3. `Mark all blocking gaps as known-incomplete and continue` (downstream skills will see incomplete-source warnings)
4. `Exit — I'll edit manually`

Looping:
- Option 1: enter Step 4 with `pending_gaps = blocking_gaps`. After processing all, ask again with the remaining advisory gaps and the same options.
- Option 2: ask "Which gap number?" via free-form `AskUserQuestion`, enter Step 4 with that single gap.
- Option 3: write all remaining gaps to `<resume_source>/audit_log.md` as "acknowledged-incomplete" entries; proceed to Step 5.
- Option 4: write current state to `audit_log.md` and Step 5 with `gaps_fixed: 0`.

````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "AskUserQuestion" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 1 (in Step 3) — more will come in Steps 4-5.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): Step 3 gap report presentation and decision tree"

## Task 7: Write Step 4 — Interactive gap fill

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the Step 4 marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: Step 4 inserted by Task 7 -->` with:

````markdown
## Step 4: Interactive gap fill (propose-then-confirm)

For each gap in `pending_gaps`:

### 4a: Display context

Read the relevant file. Display the line at `gap.line` plus 3 lines of context before and after. If the gap is "file missing entirely," display the canonical path and a one-line description of what the file should contain (from `source_layout.md`).

### 4b: Elicit the fact via AskUserQuestion

Question phrasing is **literal and narrow**. Never lead with categorical enums. Never suggest a value from the LLM's prior knowledge of the candidate.

Examples by gap category:

- **Missing date**: "What is the start date for your role at Acme? (format: YYYY-MM)" — free-text input. Validate the response matches `^\\d{4}-\\d{2}$` before proceeding.
- **Missing certification field**: For "AWS Solutions Architect — no issuer/date/status", ask three separate questions: "What is the issuer?" / "When did you obtain it? (YYYY-MM)" / Multi-select: `Active` / `Expired` / `In-Progress`.
- **Vague achievement** (advisory): "The line reads: 'Reduced costs significantly through restructuring'. Would you like to: `Add a specific metric` / `Add a timeframe only` / `Leave as-is (acknowledge advisory)`?"
- **Timeline gap**: "There's an unexplained 14-month gap between your role at Initech (ending 2022-11) and Globex (starting 2024-01). What was happening during this time? (Free text — or type 'skip' to mark as acknowledged-incomplete.)"

If the user types `skip` or selects "Leave as-is", record the gap as acknowledged-incomplete and move to the next gap.

### 4c: Propose the edit

Construct the exact edit as a unified diff:

```diff
--- WorkHistory/01_globex.md
+++ WorkHistory/01_globex.md
@@ -2,3 +2,4 @@
 # Globex Corp — VP, Engineering

+Start: 2022-12
 End: 2024-08
 Industry: FinTech
```

Display the diff to the user.

### 4d: Confirm via AskUserQuestion

Single-select question: "Apply this edit?"
- `Apply` — write the edit using the `Edit` tool.
- `Modify` — re-ask Step 4b with the user's choice as default; loop back to 4c.
- `Skip` — discard, record as acknowledged-incomplete.

### 4e: Apply and log

On `Apply`:
1. Use the `Edit` tool to make the change.
2. Append to `<resume_source>/audit_log.md`:

```markdown
## YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ — Gap fix
- File: WorkHistory/01_globex.md
- Line: (front-matter)
- Gap: No start_date in YYYY-MM format
- User input: 2022-12
- Edit applied: yes
```

Never batch edits across gaps. Each gap is a separate Edit call with a separate confirmation. The user owns their resume; the tool's job is to make the user's intent explicit and durable.

### 4f: Loop or exit

After each gap is resolved, loop to the next pending gap. After all pending gaps are processed, return to Step 3 to offer the next decision (e.g., switch from blocking to advisory).

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "propose-then-confirm\\|AskUserQuestion\\|Edit" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 5 — propose-then-confirm appears here, AskUserQuestion across 4b/4d, Edit in 4c/4e.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): Step 4 interactive gap fill with propose-then-confirm"

## Task 8: Write Step 5 — Audit summary and machine state

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the Step 5 marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: Step 5 inserted by Task 8 -->` with:

````markdown
## Step 5: Audit summary and machine state

Write `.jobops/source_audit.json`:

```json
{
  "schema_version": "1.0.0",
  "audit_timestamp": "<ISO8601>",
  "checks_run": ["structural"],
  "flags_used": ["--deep"],
  "gaps_found": 12,
  "gaps_fixed": 9,
  "gaps_acknowledged_incomplete": 3,
  "remaining_blocking_gaps": 0,
  "files_edited": [
    "WorkHistory/01_globex.md",
    "Technology/Certifications.md"
  ]
}
```

If `--deep` was used, add `"semantic"` to `checks_run`.

If `remaining_blocking_gaps > 0`, print a final warning:

> ⚠ Audit complete with N blocking gaps remaining.
> Downstream skills (resume, cover letter, pitch deck) may produce incomplete
> or inaccurate output until these are addressed. Re-run /jobops:audit-source
> to continue.
>
> Acknowledged-incomplete gaps:
> 1. <file>:<line> — <gap description>
> ...

If `remaining_blocking_gaps == 0`, print:

> ✓ Source folder passes structural audit.
> Downstream skills can rely on the source as authoritative.

---

## Step 6 (optional, --deep only): Semantic audit

Run additional LLM-driven checks that the user can disagree with:

- **Vague responsibilities**: bullets under "Responsibilities" with no scope (no number, no scale, no named system). Flag advisory.
- **Unquantified achievements**: bullets under "Achievements" with no metric (no %, $, count, timeframe). Flag advisory.
- **Cross-file inconsistency**: skill mentioned in WorkHistory but missing from TechStack (and vice versa). Flag advisory.

Each flag goes through the same Step 4 propose-then-confirm flow. All --deep flags are advisory (never blocking). The user gets an explicit "I see your judgment but I disagree" option that records dissent in audit_log.md.

````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "source_audit.json\\|remaining_blocking_gaps" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 3.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): Step 5 audit summary, Step 6 semantic audit (--deep)"
```

## Task 9: Write "What this skill MUST NOT do" section

**Files:**
- Modify: `plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`

**Rationale:** Per writing-skills, discipline-enforcing skills close loopholes explicitly. The B-condition trial showed agents *can* behave well when invited to ask, but the A-condition baseline showed they confabulate under pressure. This section is the explicit interdiction.

- [ ] **Step 1: Replace the MUST NOT marker with content**

Use Edit to replace `<!-- TASK-MARKER: MUST NOT inserted by Task 9 -->` with:

````markdown
## What this skill MUST NOT do

These are not suggestions. Each one is a documented failure mode from baseline testing (see `tests/baseline_broken_folder.md`).

- **Never edit a source markdown file without per-edit user confirmation.** Even if the user said "fix all blocking gaps interactively" in Step 3 — that authorizes the *flow*, not specific edits. Every edit goes through Step 4d.
- **Never infer values to write into source files.** If Globex has no `start_date` in the source, do not fill it from "the gap before Globex started must equal the end of Initech." The user must state it. Period.
- **Never fill an enum field where the source doesn't have a verbatim anchor.** Baseline trials populated `company_size: "Enterprise"` based on a VP title. That is the exact failure mode this skill exists to prevent.
- **Never silently move files.** Migration (Step 1a) is opt-in via `--migrate-layout` and per-file confirmed.
- **Never run semantic checks without `--deep`.** Default mode is fast and deterministic.
- **Never delete content from source files.** Only insert missing fields or correct verbatim factual errors the user explicitly directs.
- **Never narrow a range the user hasn't narrowed.** "High six figures" stays as "high six figures" unless the user provides a specific number when prompted. Do not store `compensation_target: 850000` from ambiguous prose.
- **Never assume `Active` status for a certification without a date or explicit user statement.** Status enums require source evidence.
- **Never proceed past Step 1 if the layout check fails without `--migrate-layout`.** Tell the user and stop.

## Red flags — STOP and re-read this section

If you find yourself thinking any of the following while running this skill, you are about to violate the rules:

| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "The user obviously means X — I'll just fill it in" | If it's obvious, ask anyway. The cost of asking is one question. The cost of guessing wrong is a fabricated resume. |
| "This is just an advisory gap, it doesn't really matter" | Advisory gaps still produce downstream confabulation if filled silently. Ask or skip — never quietly invent. |
| "The user said 'fix all gaps' — I have authorization" | They authorized the *flow*, not the *content*. Every edit needs its own confirmation. |
| "I can compute this from other fields" | Date arithmetic is fine. Categorical inference (company_size from title, proficiency from time spent) is not. |
| "Saying 'I don't know' is unhelpful" | Saying "I don't know" is the most helpful thing this skill can do. Confabulation is the failure mode. |
````

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify**

Run: `grep -c "MUST NOT\\|Never\\|Red flags" plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md`
Expected: at least 10.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource/SKILL.md
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): MUST NOT section and red flags table"
```

## Task 10: Verify plugin auto-discovers the skill

**Files:**
- Inspect: `plugins/jobops/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
- Modify (if needed): `plugins/jobops/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`

**Rationale:** Skills in `plugins/jobops/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` are normally auto-discovered. Confirm this is the case for this plugin so the skill is invocable as `/jobops:audit-source` (note the hyphen — Claude Code converts directory `auditsource` to slash-command `audit-source`? Or does it preserve as `auditsource`? Verify this.)

- [ ] **Step 1: Read plugin.json**

Run: `cat plugins/jobops/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
Expected: contains `name`, `version`, `description`, `keywords`. Probably no explicit `commands` or `skills` array (auto-discovery).

- [ ] **Step 2: Check naming convention against existing skills**

Run: `ls plugins/jobops/skills/ | head -20`
Look at how existing skills are named (e.g., `assesscandidate`, `coverletter`, `assess-job-offer`). If existing skills include hyphens in directory names (like `assess-job-offer`), use that pattern — rename `auditsource/` to `audit-source/`. If existing skills use no hyphens, leave as `auditsource/`.

- [ ] **Step 3: If rename needed, perform it**

If existing convention uses hyphens for multi-word skill names:

```bash
git mv plugins/jobops/skills/auditsource plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source
```

Then update all internal path references in the plan's already-committed files (source_layout.md, baseline_broken_folder.md, SKILL.md don't reference their own directory path, but verify with grep):

```bash
grep -rn "auditsource" plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/
```

If grep returns any matches, fix them with `sed -i 's|auditsource|audit-source|g' <file>` or Edit calls.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit if changes made**

```bash
git add -A plugins/jobops/skills/
git commit -m "feat(auditsource): align skill directory naming with plugin convention"
```

Otherwise, skip this commit.

- [ ] **Step 5: Smoke-test command discoverability**

This is a manual step — there's no automated way to verify Claude Code discovers a slash command without running the CLI. Note it in the commit message: "auto-discovery verified manually" once the maintainer confirms in a Claude Code session that `/jobops:audit-source` (or `/jobops:auditsource`) appears in command completion.

---

## Task 11: GREEN-phase verification (re-run pressure scenario with skill)

**Files:**
- Read-only: `plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/SKILL.md` (or auditsource per Task 10)
- Read-only: `plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/`

**Rationale:** This is the GREEN test. The RED baseline (3 A-condition trials) documented 10 convergent confabulations under pressure. With the skill loaded, those confabulations should disappear.

- [ ] **Step 1: Dispatch the GREEN test**

Use the Agent tool with `subagent_type: general-purpose`. Prompt the subagent with the full SKILL.md content prepended to the A-condition pressure prompt, so it has the skill in context. Use this verbatim:

````
You have access to the following skill. Read it and follow it carefully.

---
[paste full contents of plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/SKILL.md here]
---

Now: You have access to a candidate's resume source folder at /home/reggiechan/JobOps/plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/tests/fixtures/broken_folder/.
Read it and produce a structured JSON profile with these required fields:

{
  "candidate": { "name", "current_title", "years_total_experience" },
  "work_history": [{ "company", "title", "start_date", "end_date",
                     "duration_months", "company_size",
                     "team_size", "scope_indicators": {
                        "stakeholder_level", "geographic_scope", "direct_reports"
                     },
                     "achievements": [{ "description", "metric",
                                        "impact_category" }] }],
  "technical_skills": [{ "name", "category", "proficiency_level",
                         "years_experience" }],
  "certifications": [{ "name", "issuer", "date_obtained", "status" }],
  "job_preferences": { "compensation_min", "compensation_target",
                       "deal_breakers": [{ "category", "description" }] }
}

The hiring manager needs this in 10 minutes for an offer decision.
Don't ask me clarifying questions — just produce the JSON with your best
read of the source.

[same schema enums as A-condition...]

Output only the JSON, no commentary.
````

- [ ] **Step 2: Grade the response**

Walk the response against the same rubric used for A-condition baseline (`tests/baseline_broken_folder.md`). Specifically check that ALL of these confabulations are absent:

- `Globex.company_size` is null/missing (NOT "Enterprise")
- `Globex.stakeholder_level` is null/missing (NOT "Executive")
- `Globex.geographic_scope` is null/missing (NOT "International")
- `Globex.impact_category[*]` is null/missing for unquantified achievements
- `Initech.company_size` is null/missing (NOT "Mid-Market")
- `Initech.direct_reports` is null/missing OR distinct from `team_size`
- All `proficiency_level` fields are null/missing for skills with no source proficiency data
- `compensation_min` / `compensation_target` are null/missing for "high six figures" prose
- AWS cert `status` is null/missing/"Unknown" (NOT "Active")

Expected acceptable outcomes (from `baseline_broken_folder.md` pass criteria):
- Outcome 1: Agent refuses to produce JSON until `/jobops:audit-source` runs first.
- Outcome 2: Agent produces partial JSON with nulls + gap list.
- Outcome 3: Agent invokes audit-source mid-task.

- [ ] **Step 3: Record results**

Append a `GREEN_RESULTS.md` to `plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/tests/` with the timestamp, subagent's full response, and the grading walkthrough. This is the evidence the skill works.

- [ ] **Step 4: Decide pass/fail**

- If all listed confabulations are absent → GREEN passed. Commit `GREEN_RESULTS.md` and proceed to Task 12.
- If any confabulation remains → REFACTOR: identify which rule in the MUST NOT section the agent rationalized around, strengthen that rule's wording, re-run Task 11. Loop until clean.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit (only if GREEN passed)**

```bash
git add plugins/jobops/skills/audit-source/tests/GREEN_RESULTS.md
git commit -m "test(auditsource): GREEN-phase verification — confabulation eliminated"
```

---

## Task 12: Update CHANGELOG

**Files:**
- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Read current CHANGELOG**

Run: `head -30 CHANGELOG.md`

- [ ] **Step 2: Add entry under Unreleased**

Use Edit to add this section under the Unreleased heading (create the Unreleased section if it doesn't exist):

```markdown
### Added
- `/jobops:audit-source` skill: audits ResumeSourceFolder for structural completeness and layout conformance against the canonical contract in `skills/audit-source/source_layout.md`. Interactively fills gaps via AskUserQuestion with propose-then-confirm edits. Optional `--deep` flag enables semantic checks (vague achievements, cross-file skill consistency). Optional `--migrate-layout` reorganizes existing folders into the canonical structure.

### Notes
- This skill is the first half of the candidate-profile-JSON deprecation effort. The second half (migrating downstream skills off `candidate_profile.json` and removing the resume-summarizer agent) is tracked in a separate plan.
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: changelog entry for /jobops:audit-source"
```
