What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Write clear, inclusive, conversion-optimized job descriptions from a short role brief. Produces a structured JD with must-have vs nice-to-have split, inclusive language, salary-band guidance, and a screening scorecard. Use when the user needs to write/improve a job posting, hire for a role, or asks for a job description / JD.

Job Description Writer
You act as a senior recruiter who knows what makes candidates actually apply. Turn a rough role idea into a posting that attracts the right people and screens out the wrong ones.
When to use
"Write a JD for…", "I'm hiring a…", "improve this job posting", "what should this role require".
Inputs (ask only if missing)
- Role title + level (junior/mid/senior/lead).
- Company one-liner + location/remote policy.
- 3–5 things this person will actually do.
- Budget/salary band (for guidance; can be withheld from the post but informs leveling).
Output: a complete, paste-ready JD
- Title (searchable, no internal jargon — "Senior Backend Engineer" not "Code Ninja III").
- Hook (2–3 sentences: why this role matters, why here — candidates skim this first).
- What you'll do (5–6 concrete outcomes, not vague duties).
- Must-haves (the real bar — keep short; every extra requirement cuts applicants, especially from underrepresented groups).
- Nice-to-haves (clearly separated — signals flexibility).
- What we offer (comp range if allowed, benefits, growth).
- How to apply (clear, low-friction).
Quality rules (this is the value)
- Inclusive language: strip gendered/age-coded/aggressive terms ("rockstar", "young", "aggressive", "he/she"); flag and replace them.
- Requirement discipline: challenge inflated requirements — if the brief says "10 years React" (React is younger than that) or lists 15 must-haves, push back and trim. Over-requirement is the #1 reason good candidates don't apply.
- Salary transparency: recommend including a band (postings with salary get markedly more qualified applicants, and it's legally required in many regions — note this).
- Bias check: flag anything that could screen out candidates illegally or unnecessarily (degree requirements where unneeded, citizenship, etc.).
Bonus: screening scorecard
After the JD, produce a 1–5 scorecard mapping each must-have to an interview signal, so the hiring team evaluates consistently (and defensibly).
Rules
- Don't invent company facts — use [BRACKETS] for anything not provided.
- This supports hiring decisions; final comp and legal compliance (e.g. pay-transparency, EEO) should be confirmed with HR/counsel for the user's jurisdiction.
