## Configuration

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

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

Use `config.directories.<key>` for all file paths in this skill.
Use `config.preferences.cultural_profile` if this skill generates resume-style content.
Use `config.preferences.default_jurisdiction` if this skill has jurisdiction-sensitive logic (crisis/legal skills accept `--jurisdiction=<ISO-3166-2>` to override).

## Company-Intelligence Path Resolution

This skill writes to a per-company folder under
`{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/`. Before dispatching
any sub-agent:

1. Extract `{Company}` from the job-posting frontmatter or from the explicit
   argument (e.g., `/jobops:osint Google`).
2. Compose the target folder:
   `{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/`.
3. If the folder already exists, prompt the user:
   - **refresh** — overwrite all per-agent files.
   - **append** — keep existing files, write a new `summary_{YYYYMMDD}.md`
     alongside them (do not modify per-agent files in place).
   - **skip** — exit without running.
4. Sub-agents write to fixed filenames:
   `corporate.md`, `legal.md`, `leadership.md`, `compensation.md`,
   `culture.md`, `market.md`.
5. Person-level reports from `osint-person` land under
   `{Company}/people/{interviewer_name}.md`.
6. The aggregated synthesis lands at `{Company}/summary.md` on refresh
   or `{Company}/summary_{YYYYMMDD}.md` on append.


## Mission Overview

Deploy 6 specialized OSINT agents simultaneously to conduct parallel intelligence gathering on {{ARG1}}:

1. **osint-corporate** - Corporate structure, financials, strategic positioning
2. **osint-legal** - Litigation history, regulatory compliance, legal risks
3. **osint-leadership** - Executive backgrounds, leadership analysis
4. **osint-compensation** - Salary benchmarking, benefits, total rewards
5. **osint-culture** - Employee sentiment, workplace culture analysis
6. **osint-market** - Industry analysis, competitive landscape

## Operational Protocol

### Phase 1: Parallel Agent Deployment
✓ Deploying 6 specialized intelligence agents for target analysis

Launch all 6 specialized OSINT agents simultaneously to maximize intelligence gathering efficiency. Each agent will conduct focused research in their specialized domain and produce standardized intelligence reports saved to the resolved per-company folder `{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/`.

**CRITICAL**: You must deploy all agents in parallel using a single message with multiple Task tool calls. This ensures simultaneous execution rather than sequential processing.

**FILE STORAGE REQUIREMENTS**: Each specialized agent MUST save their complete intelligence report to `{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/` using the fixed filenames (the folder path encodes company identity; the calling skill handles refresh vs. append dating):
- `corporate.md`
- `legal.md`
- `leadership.md`
- `compensation.md`
- `culture.md`
- `market.md`

When dispatching each sub-agent, pass the fully resolved target path explicitly in the Task instruction so the sub-agent writes to the correct location.

**YAML FRONT MATTER**: Prepend each specialized report with:

```yaml
---
company: {{ARG1}}
report_type: corporate|legal|leadership|compensation|culture|market
generated_by: /osint
generated_on: <ISO8601 timestamp>
output_type: osint_corporate|osint_legal|osint_leadership|osint_compensation|osint_culture|osint_market
status: final
version: 1.0
---
```

Set `report_type` to the appropriate domain and `output_type` to the matching `osint_{report_type}` (e.g. corporate → `osint_corporate`) — this is the filename-independent detection key downstream tooling trusts. Update timestamps and versioning on reruns.

Example deployment pattern:
```
Deploy all 6 OSINT agents simultaneously to research [COMPANY]:
- Corporate intelligence (structure, finances, strategy)
- Legal intelligence (litigation, regulatory, compliance)
- Leadership intelligence (executives, personnel, governance)
- Compensation intelligence (salaries, benefits, equity)
- Culture intelligence (employee sentiment, workplace environment)
- Market intelligence (industry analysis, competitive positioning)
```

### Phase 2: Intelligence Synthesis & Integration
After receiving all 6 specialized intelligence reports, synthesize findings into a comprehensive Master Intelligence Report following the structure below. The Master Intelligence Report MUST be saved to `{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/summary.md` on **refresh**, or `{config.directories.company_intelligence}/{Company}/summary_{YYYYMMDD}.md` on **append**.

Prepend the master report with:

```yaml
---
company: {{ARG1}}
generated_by: /osint master
generated_on: <ISO8601 timestamp>
sources:
  - corporate
  - legal
  - leadership
  - compensation
  - culture
  - market
output_type: osint_summary
status: final
version: 1.0
---
```
