What your assistant gets
list_roles- The fields it covers, their specialties, and how many posts each is based on.
get_field_vocabulary- The words a field's posts use far more than other fields' posts, with real lines from those posts.
get_proof_asks- What posts ask you to prove: shipped work, impact, craft, and the rest, most-asked first.
check_resume- Which of the field's common words a resume already uses, and which it's missing.
compare_with_posting- One resume against one job post: the field words it uses and the phrases it keeps repeating.
contribute_resume- Only with your explicit yes: saves the resume, contact details removed, to help this research. You get a delete code.
delete_contribution- Deletes a saved resume with its delete code, right away.
Ground rules
Reformulate, never fabricate.
Field Notes shows how your field describes the work. It isn’t a list of claims to add. Use a word only where your real experience backs it up, and every answer says so.
Nothing is kept unless you say yes.
Resume and job-post text is processed in memory to answer your question, then dropped. Saving a resume to help the research is a separate, opt-in step. Privacy
Real posts, dated.
Every quote is a short, verbatim line from a public job post, linked to its source. Each field shows the date its posts were read, so the data stays usable after the posts close.
How it works
- Reads live posts from public job boards (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Amazon), at most 15 per company per specialty so no single employer sets the averages.
- Finds each field’s own words: the ones its posts use far more than the other fields’ posts do, counted once per post and only when at least 5 companies use them.
- Sorts the lines where posts describe the proof they want into clusters, like shipped work, measurable impact, and craft.
