Turns the user's logged decisions (skips, applies, withdrawals, declined offers, score overrides) into learned preferences with confidence levels, confirms them with the user, and writes them so job-fit and tailoring skills use them. Use weekly, after a batch of decisions, or when the user says "what have you learned about me", "update my preferences", "why do you keep showing me X".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Learn preferences

This is the feedback loop that makes ScoutJobs get better the longer it is used. It is conservative: it proposes, the user confirms, and nothing stated by the user is ever overwritten by inference.

## Input

```bash
scoutjobs decision summary --json
scoutjobs pref list --json
```

The summary holds: counts per decision kind, `signals_by_kind` (how often each `key=value` appeared in skip vs apply vs withdraw decisions), `recent_reasons` in the user's words, `interview_outcomes`, and `score_overrides` (jobs where the fit score and the user's choice disagreed).

## Infer

For each signal key, compare its distribution across kinds. A candidate preference exists when:
- the same value appears in at least 3 decisions of one kind and rarely in the opposite kind (for example `remote=onsite` in 4 skips, 0 applies → `remote: not onsite`), or
- the user's reasons repeat a theme (read `recent_reasons`; cluster by meaning, not exact words), or
- `score_overrides` show a consistent direction (user skips high-scoring jobs with a shared trait → that trait is a negative the scorer misses; user applies to low-scoring ones → a positive it misses).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zoolcoder/scoutjobs/learn-preferences@sha256:3accdb789de22f10

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.a009450, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
