Step 0 — Init

Read guides/input-collection-guide.md Section 1 and follow its procedure to set up ~/.career-spotlight/.

Step 1 — Analyze

Read guides/input-collection-guide.md Sections 2-8 for the full procedure. Summary:

1. Collect sources from the user (local paths, URLs, or .docx files).
2. Validate and expand sources (auto-detect document collections in directories).
3. Ask the user to set project priorities (highlight or supporting).
4. Check existing analyses for staleness (via git hash, file mtime, or URL age).
5. Run new analyses per guides/project-analysis-guide.md, write to ~/.career-spotlight/analyses/.

Step 2 — Position

1. Read guides/domain-positioning-guide.md and follow Sections 2-4.
2. Recommend one expert framing with a distinctiveness thesis. Keep alternatives as wrappers.
3. Ask the user to confirm the framing before proceeding.

Step 3 — Synthesize

1. Read all analyses from ~/.career-spotlight/analyses/.
2. Read guides/narrative-synthesis-guide.md and follow its methodology.
3. Archive any existing report.md to ~/.career-spotlight/history/report-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.md.
4. Write the new report to ~/.career-spotlight/report.md using templates/aggregated-report.md.

Step 4 — Write Copy

1. Read ~/.career-spotlight/report.md.
2. Read guides/copywriting-guide.md and follow its methodology.
3. Archive any existing files in ~/.career-spotlight/copies/ to history/ with timestamp suffix.
4. Write four files to ~/.career-spotlight/copies/ using templates/copywriting-variants.md:
   • resume-bullets.md
   • elevator-pitch.md
   • linkedin-summary.md
   • casual-intro.md

Step 5 — Review

Present a summary: positioning statement, theme line count, top 3 hidden capabilities.

Then offer:

1. Add more projects → Step 1
2. Change domain direction → Step 2
3. Adjust narrative emphasis → Step 3
4. Regenerate copy variants → Step 4
5. Accept and finish — remind the user their files are at ~/.career-spotlight/
