| Portfolio or resume needs work | Just need one specific document |

Steps
Step 1 — Job Description Analysis
Skill: portfolio-jd
Goal: Decode what the JD is really asking for beneath the surface language
Output: Must-have vs nice-to-have breakdown, hidden signals, fit gap analysis
Input needed: Paste the JD text
"Step 1 시작" 또는 "JD 분석해줘" (JD 텍스트 붙여넣기)
Step 2 — Company Research
Skill: portfolio-company
Goal: Understand culture, growth stage, pain points, and decision-makers
Output: Company profile, culture signals, talking points, red flags
Input needed: Company name + any public info (Glassdoor, LinkedIn, news)
Skip if: Internal transfer or referral with strong inside knowledge
"Step 2 시작" 또는 "company research 해줘"
Step 3 — Resume & Portfolio Tailoring
Skills: resume-tailorer + portfolio-rewrite (if portfolio needed)
Goal: Align your materials to Step 1 fit gaps and Step 2 culture signals
Output: Tailored resume, updated portfolio sections, cover letter draft
Skip if: Materials already tailored to this specific role
"Step 3 시작" 또는 "이력서 맞춰줘" / "포트폴리오 다듬어줘"
Step 4 — Interview Preparation
Skill: interview-prep
Goal: Prepare stories, answers, and questions for each interview stage
Input: JD analysis + company research + your experience
Output: STAR story bank, likely questions + answers, questions to ask
Skip if: Screening call only (just need a 5-min pitch)
"Step 4 시작" 또는 "면접 준비해줘"
State Tracking
어느 단계에 있는지 알려주면 바로 합류합니다:
- "JD는 분석했어, company research부터" → Step 2 바로 시작
- "면접 내일인데 prep만" → Step 4로 직행 (이전 단계 output 간략 제공 시 더 좋음)
Standalone Inputs
앞 단계 output 없이 중간부터 시작할 때:
| Skip 단계 | 대체 입력 |
|---|---|
| Step 1 없이 Step 3 | "이 역할에 필요한 스킬: [직접 나열]" |
| Step 2 없이 Step 4 | "회사에 대해 아는 것: [요약 제공]" |
| Steps 1-2 없이 Step 4 | JD + 회사 이름만 있으면 Step 4 진행 가능 |
