mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

Job Description Writer Skill

Writes complete, inclusive job descriptions that attract the right candidates and reduce bias in the hiring process.

Required Inputs

  • Job title and level
  • Team and reporting line
  • Top 5 things this person will actually do
  • Must-have requirements (be ruthless — only what is truly required)
  • Nice-to-have requirements
  • Salary range (JDs with salary ranges get 30% more applicants)
  • Location and remote policy
  • Company description (2-3 sentences)

Output Structure

[Job Title]

[Company] | [Location] | [Remote policy] | [Salary range]

About [Company] [2-3 sentences. Specific and honest — not marketing copy.]

The Role [3-4 sentences. What this person will own, why the role exists now, what success looks like in year one.]

What You Will Do [6-8 bullet points. Outcomes and responsibilities, not activities. Start each with an action verb. Most important first.]

What We Are Looking For

Must have (4-6 items only):

  • [Requirement]

Nice to have (3-4 items):

  • [Nice to have]

What We Offer [Compensation, benefits, development. Be specific.]

How to Apply [Clear instructions. What to send, where, timeline.]


Inclusive Language Review

Words to remove or replace:

Original Replace with Why
"rockstar" "experienced" Gendered connotation
"ninja" "skilled" Same issue
"must have degree" "relevant experience or qualification" Excludes qualified non-graduates

Requirement audit:

  • Years of experience requirements flagged (screen out women and underrepresented groups disproportionately)
  • Any requirements potentially discriminating against protected characteristics

Quality Checks

  • Salary range included
  • Must-haves genuinely essential (6 items max)
  • Each responsibility starts with action verb
  • Inclusive language review completed
  • No years-of-experience requirements unless legally required

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not include years-of-experience requirements unless legally necessary — they exclude qualified candidates and may create legal risk
  • Do not list "nice to have" items in the requirements section — separate mandatory from desirable clearly
  • Do not use gendered or exclusionary language — run the inclusive language check before finalising
  • Do not write a responsibilities section with more than 8 items — prioritise the most important duties
  • Do not omit compensation range where legally required or culturally expected — hiding salary deters qualified candidates

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a job description for a [role]"
  • "Create an inclusive job posting for [role]"
  • "Review and rewrite this JD: [paste]"
