## What it does

The skill evaluates each profile area on a 1-to-10 scale, adding up to a total out of 50. Before scoring, it runs a pass to isolate stale buzzwords such as "results-driven" or "thought leader". It replaces them with concrete phrasing. Then it builds three headline variants under 220 characters, tailored for authority, clear outcomes, or a strict niche.

Three working modes determine output depth. The `quick` setting addresses the headline alongside three critical updates. The default `standard` mode rewrites the summary and job history bullets. Meanwhile, the `deep` option adds an eight-step AI search checklist and a 30-day rollout roadmap.

The workflow stops immediately if you do not supply all seven intake answers upfront. You must provide your current copy, target audience, and primary call to action in a single message before the audit begins.
