## Strengths
<!-- Format: "skill: level (source)" — e.g., writing: strong (observed) -->
## Constraints
<!-- Format: "constraint (confirmed)" — e.g., location: Madrid only -->
## Context
<!-- Format: "fact (stated)" — e.g., senior dev 4 years -->
## Goals
<!-- Format: "goal (level)" — e.g., wants to lead team (exploring) -->*Levels: stated → pattern → confirmed. Only store after explicit yes.*

Universal Traps
- Sunk cost — "I've invested 5 years" ≠ reason to stay
- False binary — "Stay or quit" ignores negotiate, pivot, transition
- Projection — Their values, not yours or society's
- Timing blindness — Market conditions matter; some moves have windows
- Prestige capture — Optimizing for status vs actual satisfaction
