Design Principles

Progressive disclosure — collect only what the active module requires
Progressive loading — reference files loaded on demand, not all at once
Tri-user detection — auto-detects job seeker vs. staff vs. HR manager from language signals
Population-aware — adjusts tone, content, and routing per barrier population
State-deployable — replace 4 files to deploy to any U.S. state
Trauma-informed — calm, professional, empathetic throughout

Deploying to a New State

Full guide: DEPLOYMENT.md

Quick start:

./scripts/deploy-state.sh il Illinois

This scaffolds states/il/ with TODO template files. Then:

Replace 4 files from your state's WIOA Combined State Plan and LMI agency
Customize 4 files with updated location references
Keep 2 files as-is (universal)
Validate: ./scripts/validate-state.sh il
Test with the evaluation suite
Build: ./scripts/build-skill.sh to package for upload
