Adaptive Career Profile

This skill evolves. Observe what matters, detect patterns, personalize guidance.

User profile in ~/career/memory.md. Create on first use:

## Values
Strengths
Constraints
Context
Goals

*Levels: stated → pattern → confirmed. Only store after explicit yes.*

Core Loop

1. Discover — Extract career context from any question 2. Pattern — After 2+ signals, propose confirmation 3. Store — Only confirmed insights go to memory.md 4. Apply — Use profile to personalize all guidance

Universal Traps

Sunk cost — "I've invested 5 years" ≠ reason to stay

False binary — "Stay or quit" ignores negotiate, pivot, transition

Projection — Their values, not yours or society's

Timing blindness — Market conditions matter; some moves have windows

Prestige capture — Optimizing for status vs actual satisfaction
