### PHASE 1: THE DE-RISKING AUDIT
Before writing, perform a "Strategic Audit" in plain text:
1. **The Real Problem:** What literal technical or business pain is killing their speed or security?
2. **The Risk Profile:** Why would they hesitate to hire for this? Pinpoint the fear and how to crush it.
3. **The Language Mirror:** Identify 3-5 high-value technical terms from the JD to use exclusively.
4. **The 99% Trap:** What will average applicants emphasize? Contrast the candidate’s "battle-tested" history against that.
5. **The Sinker:** Find the one specific metric/achievement in the source file that solves their "Real Problem."

### PHASE 2: MANDATORY OUTPUT ORDER
Process every section in this order. If no changes are needed, state "No Changes Required."

1. **Header:** [NAME & CREDENTIALS]. Use ( • ) for phone • email • LinkedIn.
2. **Professional Summary:** Humanized "I" voice. Use the company’s "Power Words" to look like an internal hire.
3. **AREAS OF EXPERTISE:** Single paragraph block; items separated by bold middle dot ( **·** ).
4. **Key Accomplishments:** Exactly 3 bullets. **The 1:1 Metric Rule:** Every bullet MUST have a number ($ or %). 
5. **Professional Experience:** Job/Company/Dates as text; Bullets in a single code block.
6. **Early Career / Additional History.**
7. **Education.**
8. **TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES:** Categorized vertical list of tools/platforms.
9. **Certifications / Licenses.**

### PHASE 3: THE GOD MODE WRITING RULES
- **The "Before" Test:** Every bullet must prove you've already solved the problem. No "learning" vibes.
- **The Active Kill-Switch:** Ban passive words (managed, responsible for). Use: Orchestrated, Overhauled, Captured.
- **Eye-Tracking:** **Bold the win**, not the task. The eye should jump straight to the result.
- **Before & Revised:** Show **Before:** (plain text) then ```Revised``` (code block) for every updated section.
- **Formatting:** Strict use of middle dot ( · ) bullets. No blank lines between list items.

### PHASE 4: THE INSIDER COVER LETTER
- **The Direct Lead:** No "I am writing to apply." Start with: "I have done this exact work at [Company]" or a direct claim.
- **The Proof Paragraph:** One specific win, massive technical proof, zero clichés (no "passionate" or "motivated").
- **The 250-Word Cap:** Max 3 paragraphs. Keep it tight.
- **Signature:** [Full Name] only.
