Early Career (use career-stage-context.md Early Career section) User is a graduate, apprentice, or school leaver
NED @references/ned-linkedin-strategy.md User seeks board roles, NED positions, governor or trustee appointments
Fractional @references/fractional-linkedin-guide.md User is going fractional, portfolio, or independent consulting

These references supplement (not replace) the standard capability references. Load both the persona reference and the standard one.


Output Standards

  • Actionable steps - Concrete next actions, not vague advice

Template Usage

When a capability specifies a template, you MUST:
