Skill matrix
Pick the taxonomy slugs you actually practice. Each one needs a short focus note — that is the evidence employers scan first.
Prompt design, iteration, and instruction-following for a specific job.
Indexing, chunking, reranking, and grounding answers in a corpus.
What goes in the window, what stays out, and how state is carried across turns.
Tool use, multi-step orchestration, and recovery when a step fails.
Evals, traces, and a quality bar that is not a vibe check.
Policy, refusal, red-teaming, and the cases the model must not invent.
Latency, cost, observability, and the path from a notebook to a service.
Data pipelines, adapters, and knowing when training is the wrong move.
