score

You supply judgment. roles.score supplies mechanics. Never compute a total, band, affinity, cap or status yourself.

Inputs

• Roles in inbox (roles.list { status: 'inbox' }) or roles a profile change asks to rescore. A run started for one role (role_id given) scores that role only; a run without one scores every inbox role.
• The JD for each role (roles/<role_id>.md in the vault; capture the full JD first if only a title is on file).
• The current profile (profile.get): Craft, Domain, Team, Growth, Terms, Work mode, Dealbreakers.

Steps per role

1. Facts. Extract, never guess: workplace (remote | hybrid | onsite | flexible | unspecified), remote_ok (true | false | null), location (where the role sits, as the JD says it, e.g. "New York, NY"), comp_min, comp_max, and dealbreaker_hits (hard nos from the Dealbreakers component the JD clearly hits; empty if none). Do not put work mode in dealbreaker_hits: the engine applies Work mode itself (accepted places, mode hard nos, remote only only when the profile sets remote_only). Unknown stays null; the engine flags it to verify.
2. Let Kev judge (preferred). Call roles.score { role_id, facts, brand_terms?, notes? } without criteria. The engine asks the decision layer: one Kev call with the masked JD for C1, C2, C3, C4, C9 (company, products, domain and URLs replaced by [company]; add product names or founders in brand_terms) and one with the full state for C5..C8. Every criterion becomes a decision row (backend, p, latency) linked from the score.
3. Kev unavailable. If the call answers backend_unavailable ("Kev did not answer"), judge C1..C9 yourself:
   • Blind pass (C1, C2, C3, C4, C9): mask the company name, products, domain and URLs as [company] and score from the masked JD only.
   • Open pass (C5, C6, C7, C8): now use the company: domain fit, comp vs Terms, team and leaders, growth ceiling.
   • Call roles.score { role_id, criteria: { c1..c9 }, criteria_p?: { c1: 0.8, ... }, facts, notes }. Each criterion is recorded as an agent decision (p from criteria_p, else your call's confidence, else 0.75). When Kev answers it gives a second opinion; gaps over one point are flagged on the score (facts_json.disagreements) and the Role screen.
4. No agent and no Kev (a human calling the op): the nine questions go to Needs you and the op answers requires_human. Once they are resolved, roles.score again uses the human answers.
5. Notes hold one line per criterion and go to the role markdown.

Criteria (1 to 5)

What the engine does (do not repeat it)

• Weights from the profile version; total, band (green 75, yellow 55).
• Company affinity nudge, capped at config.scoring.affinity_cap. A company you love does not raise C1..C9.
• Dealbreakers gate first. No company bypasses a dealbreaker, dream company or not. Work mode: hybrid in an accepted place passes; hybrid elsewhere is a verify flag unless the profile says fail; a mode hard no fails; unknown mode is a verify flag.
• After a Work mode change, roles.reevaluate_filters { dry_run: true } lists work-mode archives that now pass; without dry_run it queues a Needs-you restore per role. Never restore a role yourself.
• Per company, the top config.scoring.company_active_cap roles stay active; the rest go held and are promoted automatically when a slot frees.
• Never moves on-deck or later backwards. Records profile version and rubric snapshot on every score.
• Records who judged each criterion in facts_json.criteria_source (kev, agent or human, with p and the decision id) and, for agent criteria, second_opinion (kev or unavailable) and disagreements.

Tools

A headless run pre-approves exactly these (SKILL_GRANTS in packages/engine/runners/grants.ts; a test keeps this list and that one equal) and denies everything else. If one you need is denied or missing, do not work around it: runs.finish { run_id, status: "error", summary: { error: "tool denied: <tool>", denied_tools: [...] } }.

• {{tool:pp}}: the pp MCP tools (every Perfect Placement read and write is an op).
• {{tool:web.fetch}}: capture the full JD from the posting when only a title is on file.

Rules

Supply judgment only; every write is an op. Never submit an application or send an email.
