Update Career Goals

Extract skills, requirements, and technologies from a job posting and merge them into ~/.career_goals.md.

Workflow

1. Fetch the URL – Use mcp_web_fetch or equivalent to retrieve the job listing page content.

2. Parse the content – Look for sections such as:

   • Job title / role → Target roles
   • Requirements, qualifications, must-have → Priority skills
   • Technologies, stack, tools → Tools / frameworks
   • System design, architecture mentions → Architectural patterns
   • Concepts (e.g., distributed systems, observability) → Technical concepts to strengthen

3. Read existing goals – Load ~/.career_goals.md to preserve current content. If the file does not exist, create it with the standard section headers and proceed with the extracted items only.

4. Merge – Add extracted items to the appropriate sections. Deduplicate; prefer existing items when wording differs. Use bullet lists under each section header.

5. Write back – Save the updated file to ~/.career_goals.md.

Output format

Keep the existing structure:

# Target roles
- [role 1]
- [role 2]

# Priority skills
- [skill 1]

# Tools / frameworks
- [tool 1]

# Architectural patterns
- [pattern 1]

# Technical concepts to strengthen
- [concept 1]

Notes

• Job sites vary (Indeed, LinkedIn, company career pages). Parse what is available; skip sections that don't exist.
• If the page requires login or returns minimal content, inform the user and suggest pasting the job text directly.
• Preserve any custom sections the user has added beyond the five standard ones.
