Decode a job description to find what they actually want beneath the buzzwords. Use when asked to analyse a job description, decode a JD, assess fit for a role, or figure out what a posting really means before applying. Produces a decode — the real must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, hidden priorities & culture signals, red flags, an honest fit assessment, and the exact phrases to mirror in your application.
What to give it
▸The job description — (paste it in full — the more complete, the better the decode).
▸Your background — a short summary or CV, so the fit assessment is real, not generic.
▸The company / role level — , if not obvious from the JD.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Separates the few true must-haves from the long aspirational list
✓Hidden priorities are inferred from specific wording, quoted — not guessed
✓The fit assessment is honest (names gaps), not flattering
✓Red flags are surfaced with a sense of how serious each is
✓Mirror-phrases are pulled verbatim from the JD for ATS alignment
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not treat every listed requirement as mandatory — most are wishes; the skill's value is telling which few aren't
Do not give a flattering fit read — a candid "stretch, here's the gap" is more useful than false confidence
Do not ignore tone and ordering — they often reveal more than the bullet list
Do not invent company facts — decode the text given; flag what needs separate research (pair with company-brief)
Do not skip the red flags — helping someone *not* apply to a bad role is a real outcome
