LeoWinston-9596andClaude Opus 4.8 41ddc0c73c RFC feat(08): application-form fields as a third /apply artifact (#212 )

* feat(08): add application-form fields as a third /apply artifact

/apply produces a CV and a cover letter. Many applications need a third
thing: free-text typed into a portal. Graduate programs, large-employer
ATS systems and startup forms ask for self-introductions, structured
project entries, motivation questions and pitches under a hard character
limit - none of which either document covers, and all of which the
interviewer reads alongside the CV.

Governing rule: a form field selects from what is already true and
arranges it for the question asked. It never introduces a new claim.
All accuracy rules from 03 and 05 apply unchanged.

Covers three field types (self-introduction, structured project entries,
hard character limits), the output format (a plain .txt the candidate
pastes from, with counts stated and internal NOTE TO SELF blocks marked
as not-for-pasting), and a verification checklist.

Two places where form fields are stricter than a CV, because both are
easy to get wrong:

- Project entries carry a name and a role, so they read as ownership of
  the whole project in a way a terse CV bullet does not. Contributory
  work has to be scoped inside the description.
- Project dates are the dates of the project, not of the employment.
  Narrowing them is more accurate where the candidate can say when the
  project started - but never invent a boundary to improve the ratio.

Registers the file in SKILL.md (framework_version 1.0.1 -> 1.1.0) and in
the FRAMEWORK_FILES list in tools/check_upstream_updates.py, so it is
covered by the update check like every other framework file.

* fixup(08,apply): wire as optional /apply offer; align grounding to three-source union

- apply.md Step 6: offer the third artifact after CV/cover letter are
  produced, mirroring the /outcome house pattern for optional capabilities
  (offer, act only on yes, default output unchanged).
- 08-application-forms.md: ground claims against the framework's
  01-candidate-profile.md + master CV + CLAUDE.md union (per #185)
  instead of only 01, in both the governing rule and the checklist.

Per MadsLorentzen review on PR #212. Rebase onto merged #210 (the
tenure-check reference this file cites) still pending — #210 hasn't
landed on upstream/master yet.

Job Application Assistant

Workflow

When the user provides a job posting (URL or text), follow this workflow:

Step 1: Research & Evaluate Fit

Fetch the job posting content (use WebFetch for URLs)
Analyze the posting for required competencies, keywords, and priorities
Research the company (website, LinkedIn, mission, recent news)
Score the posting against the candidate's profile using the framework in 04-job-evaluation.md
Present the evaluation table and verdict
Suggest whether the candidate should call the employer before applying (see 04-job-evaluation.md for guidance)
Ask the user if they want to proceed with an application

Step 2: Tailor CV

Read the most relevant existing CV variant from cv/ as a starting point
Follow the guidelines in 05-cv-templates.md
Create cv/main_<company>_<role>.tex with tailored content
Adjust: profile statement, skills section, experience bullet emphasis, section order

Step 3: Write Cover Letter

Follow the writing style rules in 03-writing-style.md (critical: no em-dashes, no cliches)
Follow the template structure in 06-cover-letter-templates.md
Create cover_letters/cover_<company>_<role>.tex
Ensure the letter connects specific experience to the role requirements

Step 4: Interview Preparation

Follow the framework in 07-interview-prep.md
Prepare STAR-format answers for likely questions
Identify role-specific talking points
Draft questions the candidate should ask the interviewer
