Job Shadow Risk Assessor

This skill gives you the exact 21-day checklist to read the quiet internal signals that your job is becoming obsolete (reorgs, metric changes, AI pilots, budget freezes) and simultaneously build a 3-month runway + marketable proof without ever looking disloyal or updating LinkedIn. It matters because The First 72 Hours skill only kicks in after the layoff — this one keeps you paid while you prepare.

When to Use

• You sense budget cuts, AI pilots, or reorgs but no one has said anything yet
• Your boss has gone silent on future projects or your metrics are suddenly being tracked differently
• You want to prepare for possible job loss without quitting or raising any red flags

Instructions

Step 1: Silent 12-Signal Diagnostic (Days 1–3)

Score your exact role against 12 internal company signals.

Agent action: Create job-shadow.md. Run the user through the 12-question checklist (frozen headcount, sudden metric changes, AI tool rollouts, etc.) and calculate risk score (low/medium/high). Save the score.

Step 2: Hidden Cash Buffer Build (Days 4–10)

Divert money without changing visible lifestyle.

Agent action: Set up one new high-yield savings account labeled something boring (“Tax Adjustment 2026”). Automate a transfer equal to 8–10% of every paycheck. Update job-shadow.md with exact new runway number (target: 3 months of bare-minimum expenses).
