/apply Step 3's reviewer agent and /interview Step 2 each independently
execute the Company Research Checklist (04-job-evaluation.md) for the
same company - applying to a role and later prepping for its interview
researches the company twice from scratch, same WebSearch/WebFetch cost
both times, no sharing between the two commands.
Adds a company_research/<normalized-name>.json cache (30-day TTL) that
either consumer checks before researching and writes after a fresh
pass. Defined once in 04-job-evaluation.md, next to the checklist it
mirrors, so both commands point at one source instead of restating the
schema. Does not change the verification model: 03-writing-style.md
rule 5 already treats reviewer-agent research as a lead, not a source,
requiring independent re-confirmation before any company claim ships
in a final artifact - the cache stores source URLs alongside each
fact so that re-confirmation stays cheap, but the requirement itself
is untouched and restated in both consumers.
company_research/*.json added to .gitignore and security_guards.py's
REQUIRED_IGNORE_RULES as a plain rooted pattern (not **/-prefixed):
the cache is referenced from commands, not a skill, so it resolves
against the repo root normally, unlike job_scraper/upskill's
skill-relative paths.
Pinned by tests/test_company_research_cache.py, mirroring the
spec-pinning pattern in test_rank_command.py and test_onboarding_privacy.py.
The write-back assertions for both apply.md and interview.md were
verified to actually fail against the regression they guard (the
instruction stripped, confirmed the test catches it, restored) before
being considered done - the write half is the one most likely to be
dropped silently in a future edit, since the read half is the more
obvious change to make.
framework_version bumped 1.2.4 -> 1.2.5 in 04-job-evaluation.md, the
only touched file inside the tracked skill set.
