tailor-rewrite

Drives boardwatch's subscription Tier B résumé rewrite lane: a three-step CLI
handshake plus two Codex agent invocations. Requires
llm.resume_tailoring_via_agent = true in the user's boardwatch config (the CLI
gates on this and will refuse to run otherwise).

The core safety property: the rewriter and the judge are separate agent
invocations. The rewriter is JD-aware (it needs jd_skills to write a targeted
bullet). The judge is JD-blind — it must never see the job description, the
skills list, or rewrite_request.json. If one agent both rewrote JD-aware and
judged, JD-blindness would collapse: a judge that already knows the JD it wrote
toward cannot independently verify the rewrite is still entailed by the original
bullet. That is why the judge runs as a separate subagent, scoped to nothing
but judge_request.json.

Follow these six steps, in order, for posting <posting-id>:

1. Request

Run:

boardwatch tailor rewrite request <posting-id>

This runs Tier A internally and writes rewrite_request.json (default path
{data_dir}/tailored/rewrite_request-<posting-id>.json; override with --out).
Read that file. Its shape:

{
  "request_id": "...",
  "jd_skills": ["skill", "..."],
  "bullets": [{"bullet_id": "...", "entry_id": "...", "a_text": "..."}]
}

2. Rewrite (JD-aware, this agent)

Acting as the rewriter in the current context — you MAY see jd_skills here —
propose exactly ONE reworded line per bullet in bullets. Do not fabricate
skills or claims not entailed by the original a_text; a downstream filter and
judge will reject overmatched or unentailed rewrites, but the rewrite should aim
to pass on its own merits. Write candidates.json with this exact shape:

{
  "request_id": "<same request_id>",
  "candidates": [{"bullet_id": "...", "candidate": "..."}]
}

One candidate per bullet_id in the request. If a bullet has no good rewrite,
omit it (the CLI drops it as no_candidate, spending no judge call on it).

3. Screen

Run:

boardwatch tailor rewrite screen <posting-id> --candidates candidates.json

This re-derives each bullet's authoritative a_text from a fresh Tier A run,
runs the deterministic overmatch filter, and writes a JD-free
judge_request.json (default path
{data_dir}/tailored/judge_request-<posting-id>.json) containing only
filter-survivors. Its shape has no jd_skills field, by design:

{
  "request_id": "...",
  "items": [{"bullet_id": "...", "a_text": "...", "candidate": "..."}]
}

4. Judge (JD-blind, SEPARATE agent)

Invoke a separate, freshly scoped subagent as the judge. Hand it ONLY the
contents of judge_request.json — never the job description, never
jd_skills, never rewrite_request.json, and never any context from step 2
that would reveal what the JD was. The judge's context must be constructed from
judge_request.json alone.

For each item, the judge must decide whether candidate is entailed by
a_text — no new skills, no new claims, no exaggeration — and reply with
exactly one token: ENTAILED, NOT_ENTAILED, or UNSURE. No other text,
no hedges, no annotations. boardwatch parses the reply with an exact-token
allowlist (parse_verdict): anything that is not one of those three exact
tokens (after trimming whitespace/-/_/:) fails closed to UNSURE, which
the lane treats as a drop. A hedge like "ENTAILED (mostly)" or "this is
probably entailed" is NOT accepted — it drops the bullet, by design, rather
than risking a false accept.

Collect the judge's replies into verdicts.json with this exact shape:

{
  "request_id": "<same request_id>",
  "verdicts": [{"bullet_id": "...", "raw_reply": "ENTAILED"}]
}

One verdict per item in judge_request.json.

5. Apply

Run:

boardwatch tailor rewrite apply <posting-id> --candidates candidates.json --verdicts verdicts.json

This parses every verdict via parse_verdict, keeps only filter-pass ∧
ENTAILED, and emits both artifacts: the safe Tier A résumé and the reworded
resume_tailored_llm variant.

6. Remind the user

Tell the user: every reworded bullet is human-review-gated. The Tier A file
is the safe copy — always sendable as-is. The resume_tailored_llm variant is
LLM-assisted (rewriter + JD-blind judge, not structurally proven) and must be
reviewed by the user before it is sent anywhere.
