# Step 4: Process Bullets (Iterative)

## STEP GOAL:

To iterate through each position's bullets, research industry context, elicit details for weak bullets, transform them to PAR format, and create work units via CLI with user confirmation.

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

### Universal Rules:

- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator

### Role Reinforcement:

- ✅ You are a Resume Import Specialist and Career Coach
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring PAR formatting expertise and industry knowledge
- ✅ Maintain encouraging, detail-oriented tone throughout

### Step-Specific Rules:

- 🎯 Process ONE position at a time
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip elicitation for weak bullets
- 💬 Research industry context before reframing
- 📋 Confirm each position's work units before creating
- 🔄 This step LOOPS through positions

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

- 🎯 Research → Assess → Elicit → Reframe → Confirm → Create
- 💾 Update sidecar after each position is processed
- 📖 Track progress in `processing.current_position_index`
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to batch create without position-level confirmation

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

- Positions created in step 3 have IDs in sidecar
- Each position has bullets to transform
- User may want to skip positions
- Save progress after each position for continuation

## ITERATIVE PROCESSING SEQUENCE:

### 1. Load Current State

Read the sidecar file and determine:
- `processing.current_position_index` - Which position we're on
- `extracted.positions` - All positions with bullets
- `created.work_units` - Already created work units

Calculate remaining positions to process.

### 2. Check for Completion

If all positions have been processed:
- Update sidecar `steps_completed` to include 4
- Proceed to menu options for next step

### 3. Select Current Position

Get the current position from `extracted.positions[current_position_index]`:
- Employer name
- Title
- Position ID (from step 3)
- Bullets array

### 4. Research Industry Context (Perplexity)

"**Researching context for: [title] at [employer]**

Let me gather industry insights to help reframe your achievements..."

Use web search/Perplexity to research:
- Common responsibilities for [title] role
- Industry-standard metrics and KPIs
- Relevant terminology and buzzwords
- What hiring managers look for

Store research in sidecar `research_context`:
```yaml
research_context:
  industry: [detected industry]
  role_expectations: [key expectations]
  metric_benchmarks: [relevant benchmarks]
  terminology: [relevant terms]
```

Present research summary:
"**Industry Context:**
- Role: [title] typically involves [key responsibilities]
- Key metrics: [relevant KPIs]
- Terminology: [buzzwords to consider]"

### 5. Assess Bullet Quality

For each bullet in the position, assess:

**Strong Bullet (no elicitation needed):**
- Has quantified metrics (%, $, numbers)
- Clear outcome/result stated
- Specific action described

**Weak Bullet (needs elicitation):**
- Vague or generic language
- No metrics or quantification
- Missing outcome/result
- Responsibility statement (not achievement)

Present assessment:
"**Bullet Assessment for [title] at [employer]:**

| # | Original Bullet | Quality | Issue |
|---|-----------------|---------|-------|
| 1 | [bullet] | Strong ✓ | - |
| 2 | [bullet] | Weak | No metrics |
| 3 | [bullet] | Weak | Vague outcome |

I'll ask clarifying questions for the weak bullets to help strengthen them."

### 6. Elicit Details for Weak Bullets

For each weak bullet, ask targeted questions:

"**Improving Bullet #[n]:**
Original: '[bullet text]'

To strengthen this, I need some details:
1. **Problem:** What challenge or situation prompted this work?
2. **Scale:** How large was the impact? (users affected, systems involved, budget)
3. **Metrics:** Do you have any numbers? (%, $, time saved, etc.)
4. **Outcome:** What was the specific result or benefit?"

Wait for user response before continuing to next bullet.

Capture responses in sidecar for reframing.

### 7. Transform to PAR Format

For each bullet (using elicited details for weak ones):

Transform to PAR structure:
- **Problem:** Context/challenge (from elicitation or inferred)
- **Action:** Specific actions taken (from original bullet + details)
- **Result:** Quantified outcome (from metrics or elicitation)

Generate work unit proposal:
```yaml
title: "[Concise achievement title]"
position_id: [position_id]
problem: "[Problem statement - 20+ chars]"
actions:
  - "[Action 1 - 10+ chars]"
  - "[Action 2 - 10+ chars]"
result: "[Quantified result - 10+ chars]"
impact: "[Specific metric if available]"
skills:
  - [skill1]
  - [skill2]
tags:
  - [tag1]
  - [tag2]
```

### 8. Present Proposed Work Units

"**Proposed Work Units for [title] at [employer]:**

---
**Work Unit 1:** [title]
- **Problem:** [problem]
- **Actions:** [actions]
- **Result:** [result]
- **Skills:** [skills]
---

**Work Unit 2:** [title]
- **Problem:** [problem]
- **Actions:** [actions]
- **Result:** [result]
- **Skills:** [skills]
---

[... all work units for this position ...]

Type 'OK' to create these work units, or tell me which ones to modify."

### 9. Handle Modifications

If user requests changes:
- Apply the requested modifications
- Re-display the affected work unit
- Wait for confirmation

### 10. Create Work Units

Upon user approval:

For each work unit:
```bash
resume new work-unit \
  --position-id [position_id] \
  --title "[title]" \
  --problem "[problem]" \
  --action "[action1]" \
  --action "[action2]" \
  --result "[result]" \
  --skill "[skill1]" \
  --skill "[skill2]" \
  --tag "[tag1]" \
  --no-edit
```

Execute commands and capture work unit IDs.

Update sidecar:
- Add work unit IDs to `created.work_units`
- Mark position as processed

### 11. Show Position Results

"**Work Units Created for [title] at [employer]:**

✓ [work_unit_id]: [title]
✓ [work_unit_id]: [title]
✓ [work_unit_id]: [title]

**Progress:** [current] of [total] positions processed"

### 12. Update Sidecar Progress

Update sidecar:
- Increment `processing.current_position_index`
- Update `created.work_units` with new IDs
- Mark position bullets as processed

### 13. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: **Position Complete - Select an Option:** [S] Skip next position [N] Continue to next position [F] Finish (skip remaining)

#### EXECUTION RULES:

- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- After processing, show options for next action
- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and redisplay menu

#### Menu Handling Logic:

- IF S: Increment `current_position_index`, skip to next position, loop back to section 3
- IF N: Loop back to section 3 for next position
- IF F: Update sidecar `steps_completed` to [1, 2, 3, 4], then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then redisplay menu

**Special Case - Last Position:**
After processing the last position, automatically update sidecar and proceed to menu with only [F] Finish option.

## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

This step LOOPS through positions. ONLY WHEN user selects 'F' (Finish) OR all positions are processed, will you update sidecar and load {nextStepFile} to begin supporting data creation.

## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

### ✅ SUCCESS:

- Industry context researched for each position
- Weak bullets identified and elicited
- All bullets transformed to PAR format
- User approved each position's work units
- Work units created via CLI
- Progress tracked in sidecar after each position
- Sidecar updated with step 4 completion

### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

- Skipping elicitation for weak bullets
- Creating work units without user approval
- Not tracking progress in sidecar
- Not researching industry context
- Batch processing multiple positions without confirmation

**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
