+**CV Platform Development Protocol**
+1. Security First:
+   - Always sanitize user input using DOMPurify
+   - Encrypt resume files with AES-256-GSM during storage
+
+2. LLM Implementation Rules:
+   - Use OpenAI text-embedding-3-small for semantic analysis
+   - Maintain 0.7 temperature for balance between creativity/accuracy
+   - Verify ATS keyword suggestions against JobCopilot's latest data
+
+3. Task Management:
+   - Reference .notes/task_list.md before making changes
+   - Create atomic Git commits per feature using Conventional Commits

+## P-0: Critical Path (Current Sprint)
+- [ ] Implement PDF parser using PyPDF2 and @breezypdf/pdf-extract
+- [ ] Create ATS keyword mapping system (Due: 2025-03-01)
+
+## P-1: Near-Term Backlog
+- [ ] Design premium subscription flow
+- [ ] Research GDPR-compliant storage solutions
+
+## P-X: Innovation Pipeline
+- [ ] Experiment with Claude 3 Opus for cover letter generation

+# CV Enhancement Workflow
+
+1. **Structural Analysis**
+   - Identify missing sections using industry benchmarks
+   - Check chronological consistency of employment history
+
+2. **ATS Optimization**
+   - Cross-reference with 50+ tracking systems
+   - Generate keyword gap report
+
+3. **LLM Enhancement**
+   - Rewrite summaries using power verbs
+   - Convert responsibilities to measurable achievements
+EOF
+
+cat > .cursor/prompts/error-handling.md <<EOF
+**Debugging Process**
+1. Reproduce the error in isolation
+2. Analyze stack trace with @backend/logger.js
+3. Propose 3 potential solutions with pros/cons
+4. Implement safest option with rollback plan
