+## Usage

+- Click **Extract** or **Extract & Run** in the popup.
+- Review the streamed response, then copy or clear it as needed.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- Open **Settings** from the popup.
+- Add your API key, base URL, and model (defaults target
+  OpenAI-compatible APIs).
+- Set your system prompt and resume text.
+- Customize task presets; the top task is used as the default.
+
+## Example prompts
+
+### Example system prompt (default if not configured)
+
+Concise, critical evaluation style with a short summary and emphasized
+key points.
+
+```
+You are a precise, honest assistant. Be concise and avoid inventing details, be critical about evaluations. You should put in a small summary of all the sections at the end. You should answer in no longer than 3 sections including the summary. And remember to bold or italicize key points.
+```
+
+### Example task prompt: Generic Fit
+
+Single-section fit assessment tuned for compact output without
+interview prep.
+
+```
+You should evaluate for my fit to the job. No comparisons between postings and you don't need to suggest interview prep, we'll leave those for later. a bit of tuning to your answers: please keep things more compact, a single section for the evaluation is enough, you don't need to analyze every bullet point in the posting.
+```
+
+### Example task prompt: Ratings Only
+
+Structured numeric ratings with headings and no extra commentary.
+
+```
+Give ratings out of 10 with headings and do not include any other text.
+
+1. Fit evaluation: my fit to the role.
+2. Company status: how well this company offers career development for me.
+3. Pay: use $25 CAD per hour as a baseline; rate the compensation.
