+# Job Application Framework - Instructions for Claude Code
+
+This directory contains the Job Application Framework (Bewerbungszauberer), designed to help create tailored CVs, cover letters, and application emails using Claude Code.
+
+## Core Principle: Profile as Source of Truth
+
+**IMPORTANT**: When the user requests help with ANY job application task (CV, cover letter, email, or application advice), you MUST:
+
+1. **Always read `profile.md` first** - This file contains the applicant's verified personal and professional information
+2. **Use ONLY information from `profile.md`** - Never fabricate, assume, or hallucinate details about the applicant
+3. **Maintain consistency** - All generated documents must align with the information in `profile.md`
+
+## When to Read the Profile
+
+Read `profile.md` automatically when the user asks for help with:
+
+- Creating or tailoring a CV/resume
+- Writing a cover letter
+- Drafting an application email
+- Customizing application documents for a specific job
+- Reviewing or improving existing application materials
+- Extracting relevant experience or skills for a position
+- Advice on how to position themselves for a role
+
+## Job Application Workflow
+
+When helping with job applications, follow this workflow:
+
+### 1. Research & Context
+- Read the job description provided by the user
+- Extract key requirements, skills, and keywords
+- Analyze the company culture from the job posting language
+- Read `profile.md` to understand what the applicant brings
+
+### 2. Match & Strategy
+- Identify which of the applicant's experiences (from `profile.md`) best match the job requirements
+- Determine which skills and projects to emphasize
+- Decide on the appropriate tone (formal, balanced, or casual) based on company culture
+
+### 3. Content Generation
+- Generate CV/cover letter/email based on the strategy
+- Emphasize relevant experience from `profile.md`
+- Incorporate keywords from the job description naturally
+- Maintain factual accuracy - use only verified information from `profile.md`
+
+### 4. Quality Assurance
+- Verify all company names, dates, and facts are correct
+- Ensure consistency between all documents (CV ↔ cover letter ↔ email)
+- Check that tone matches the target company culture
+- Confirm ATS optimization if applicable (simple formatting, keywords, standard sections)
+
+## Document Standards
+
+### CV/Resume
+- Use information from relevant sections of `profile.md`
+- Tailor the professional summary to the specific role
+- Emphasize experiences and skills that match job requirements
+- Keep formatting simple and ATS-friendly
+- Use quantifiable achievements when available
+
+### Cover Letter
+- Structure: Opening → Why this role → What you bring → Cultural fit → Closing
+- Length: Aim for 1 page (3-4 paragraphs)
+- Tone: Match company culture (formal/balanced/casual)
+- Personalize: Reference specific aspects of the job/company
+- Connect: Link applicant's experience to job requirements
+
+### Application Email
+- Keep it short (3-4 sentences maximum)
+- Subject line: Clear and professional
+- Body: Brief introduction, reference to attached documents, expression of interest
+- Professional signature using contact info from `profile.md`
+
+## Cultural Considerations
+
+This framework is designed with the German job market in mind:
+
+- More formal tone is often expected
+- Detailed work history with exact dates is valued
+- Certificates and credentials are highly regarded
+- A professional photo on CV may be common (user's choice)
+
+Adjust recommendations based on the target market if the user specifies a different region.
+
+## Constraints
+
+**Data Privacy**:
+- All information stays local - only API calls to Claude use the data
+- Never suggest uploading sensitive personal data to third-party services
+- Respect GDPR and data protection principles
+
+**Accuracy & Honesty**:
+- NEVER fabricate experience, skills, or achievements
+- If `profile.md` lacks information needed for a job application, ask the user to update `profile.md` first
+- Be transparent about what can and cannot be emphasized from the applicant's background
+
+**Quality Standards**:
+- All generated content is a DRAFT - user must review and approve
+- Fact-check company names, contact persons, and details from job postings
+- Maintain consistency across all documents for a single application
+
+## Example Usage
+
+**User**: "Help me apply for this software engineering position at TechCorp [paste job description]"
+
+**Claude Code should**:
+1. Read `profile.md` to load applicant information
+2. Analyze the job description for requirements and culture
+3. Identify matching experiences and skills from the profile
+4. Ask clarifying questions: "Would you like me to create a CV, cover letter, or both?"
+5. Generate tailored documents using only information from `profile.md`
+6. Ensure all documents are consistent and factually accurate
+
+## Updating the Profile
+
+If you notice missing or outdated information during application preparation:
+- Inform the user which sections of `profile.md` need updates
+- Ask them to update `profile.md` first before generating documents
+- This ensures the profile remains the single source of truth
+
+---
+
+**Remember**: The quality of output depends on the quality of `profile.md`. Encourage users to keep it complete, accurate, and up to date.
