Dict order = match priority (first match wins). # # Users can add custom domains under `mission_preferences` in user.yaml. # Any key in mission_preferences that is NOT listed here is treated as a # user-defined domain: no signal detection, custom note only (skipped if # the job description doesn't contain the key as a literal word). # # Schema per domain: # signals: list[str] — lowercase keywords to scan for in "company + JD" # default_note: str — hint injected when user has no custom note for domain domains: music: signals: - music - spotify - tidal - soundcloud - bandcamp - apple music - distrokid - cd baby - landr - beatport - reverb - vinyl - streaming - artist - label - live nation - ticketmaster - aeg - songkick - concert - venue - festival - audio - podcast - studio - record - musician - playlist default_note: > This company is in the music industry — an industry the candidate finds genuinely compelling.
