Copied from the file, not written here
Parses a raw job description into a structured TargetProfile — role, seniority, must-have vs nice-to-have requirements, hard/soft skills, responsibilities, ATS keywords, and a truthful crossover (their-term ↔ your-term) map. Distilled from "Resumes For Dummies" (AI-era ed.). Built for automated pipelines (e.g. JobHunter) as the shared front-end that feeds both resume tailoring and scoring. Use this skill when: - Turning a job posting into structured requirements before tailoring a resume - Separating must-have from nice-to-have qualifications - Splitting hard skills (tools/certs) from soft skills - Extracting ATS keywords to mirror truthfully - Inferring a role's target seniority and focus - Building a crossover map between a JD's wording and a candidate's vocabulary - Providing a TargetProfile to resume-content-writer or resume-fit-scorer

job-description-analyzer
Converts a messy job posting into one clean, machine-usable TargetProfile: what's required vs preferred, the hard and soft skills, the responsibilities, the exact ATS keywords to mirror, the inferred seniority/focus, and a truthful crossover map. This is the shared source of truth so tailoring and scoring agree on the target. Built from "Resumes For Dummies" (AI-era ed.), chapters 1, 3, 5, 6.
