SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It helps students and early-career professionals who feel lost about what they want to do, what suits them long-term, or whether a specific role is worth pursuing, turning vague career anxiety into evidence-based, verifiable direction judgments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-layer diagnosis: Separates what you want to do, what fits you long-term, and what you can currently enter, correcting the common mistake of deriving career direction directly from current skills. - Evidence-based reasoning: Uses real behavioral evidence, role fact research, and trade-off testing instead of personality labels or generic job lists, with confirmation gates before adding, excluding, or reordering directions. - Use Case: A user says "I'm good with people, so maybe I should do sales or HR." The Skill intercepts this single-trait inference, clarifies the actual work mechanisms of those roles, gathers real experience evidence, and delivers a prioritized direction report with confidence levels and remaining unknowns. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to use career-direction to help you figure out which career direction fits you and why.

FAQPage Schema
How do I figure out what career direction suits me?

This Skill diagnoses career direction by separating what you want to do, what fits you long-term, and what you can currently enter. It gathers real behavioral evidence and role facts through dialogue, then delivers a prioritized direction report with confidence levels.

How to decide if a specific job is right for me?

The Skill first verifies the role's actual work content, core outputs, and unavoidable costs, then checks whether you still want it after knowing the facts and whether real experience supports long-term fit. It avoids judging from job titles or single traits.

Can this Skill help with resume writing or job applications?

No. The Skill only handles career direction diagnosis and explicitly excludes resume editing, real-time job searching, application strategy, and interview preparation. When the conversation shifts to those execution tasks, it points out the boundary and ends.

Does the career diagnosis require my school and internship background?

The first diagnostic layer never asks for school, degree, major, or internship history. Only in the optional second layer, with your explicit consent, does it request the minimum background needed to check current readiness against employer requirements.

Why does the Skill reject deriving careers from current skills?

Because what you can currently do is an employer-side screening question, not a direction choice. The Skill first clarifies desired outcomes and suitable work mechanisms, then checks readiness and gaps only after a direction is formed.
