SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When working on a job application, "the JD" is a specific artifact, and using the wrong copy — a stale saved version, a paraphrase, or a search summary — leads to cover letters and interview prep built on inaccurate requirements. This Skill routes you to the correct source of truth depending on whether the application has already been submitted. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Status-Based Routing: Determines whether the work is prospective (drafting to apply) or retrospective (already applied) and selects the canonical JD copy accordingly. - Anti-Drift Sourcing: For prospective work, fetches the live posting via web fetch or a fresh paste; for retrospective work, uses the frozen copy submitted at apply time. - Provenance Stamping: Returns the verbatim JD text with a one-line stamp recording source, date, and mode. - Use Case: Before drafting a cover letter, invoke this Skill to fetch the live posting verbatim rather than relying on a week-old saved copy that may predate an employer edit. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check the JD for the application you are working on and confirm whether you have already submitted it.

Frequently Asked Questions about check-jd

FAQPage Schema
How do I get the correct job description before writing a cover letter?

Fetch the live posting verbatim from the web or use a freshly pasted copy, since the employer may have edited it since any saved version. The live posting is the source of truth when you are still drafting to apply.

Which job description copy should I use for interview prep after applying?

Use the frozen copy you submitted under, because the live posting may have drifted since your application date. The saved or submitted version is canonical for retrospective work like interview preparation.

Can I rely on a web search summary of a job posting?

No, a search summary is a synthesis rather than the verbatim source and may omit or alter requirements. If you must use one, tag it as unverified and confirm against the literal posting text.

What should I do if no canonical job description copy is available?

Stop and ask the user to paste the posting or provide the URL rather than hunting through saved files and settling for a potentially outdated lookalike. For prospective work, fetch the live posting directly.

Why is a saved Drive copy of a job posting risky for new applications?

A saved copy may predate employer edits such as new requirements, changed compensation, or swapped boilerplate. For applications not yet submitted, the live posting at submission time is what you will be judged against.
