+# Mode: eu-swe — European SWE Application Calibration
+
+Use this mode when the candidate is targeting software engineering roles in Europe and wants market-specific application calibration before CV generation, form answers, or interview prep.
+
+This mode is advisory. It must not replace official immigration, tax, labor, or salary-threshold research.
+
+## Inputs
+
+1. **JD text or URL** — role title, country, city, work model, stack, seniority, language, and application portal.
+2. **CV** at `cv.md` + `article-digest.md` — proof points and real achievements.
+3. **Profile** at `config/profile.yml` + `modes/_profile.md` — location, targets, constraints, compensation, and user-specific rules.
+4. **Evaluation report** in `reports/` if one already exists.
+
+## Step 1 — Market and Role Classification
+
+Classify the opportunity:
+
+- country and city
+- role family: backend, frontend, full-stack, platform, data, ML, DevOps, mobile, security, engineering management
+- seniority and level signals
+- work model: remote, hybrid, office-first, relocation
+- core stack and domain
+- language expectations
+- application portal and required fields
+
+If the country or city is unclear, say so and proceed with generic European SWE guidance.
+
+## Step 2 — Hard Filters
+
+Build a table:
+
+| Filter | JD signal | Candidate signal | Risk | Action |
+|--------|-----------|------------------|------|--------|
+| Location/work model | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Work authorization/sponsorship | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Language | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Seniority | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Core stack | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Domain | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Compensation feasibility | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+| Background checks | | | pass/risk/blocker/unknown | |
+
+Do not guess missing candidate facts. Mark unknowns and ask only when the answer changes apply/no-apply or generated text.
+
+## Step 3 — Country Notes
+
+Use these as prompts for what to verify, not as final legal advice.
+
+| Country/market | Common checks for SWE applications |
+|----------------|------------------------------------|
+| Netherlands | Sponsor readiness, recognized employer requirements, office/hybrid expectations, English vs Dutch, finance/security screening such as VOG/PES when relevant. Verify immigration and salary threshold facts from official Dutch sources at runtime. |
+| Germany / DACH | Blue Card or residence/work permit fit, German vs English expectations, city-specific compensation, notice/probation norms, and highly formal application expectations in some companies. Verify legal and permit facts from official sources at runtime. |
+| Ireland | Employment permit or local work authorization fit, Dublin vs regional compensation, English-language expectations, and multinational hiring-process norms. Verify permit facts from official Irish sources at runtime. |
+| France | French vs English expectations, CDI/CDD or contract framing, Paris vs regional compensation, and sector-specific benefits or collective-agreement context when visible in the JD. Verify work authorization and labor facts from official sources at runtime. |
+| UK | Skilled Worker sponsorship, salary/visa feasibility, London vs regional compensation, and right-to-work wording. Verify legal and immigration facts from official UK sources at runtime. |
+| Other Europe | Use generic SWE screening plus country-specific official verification for work authorization, salary thresholds, tax/legal constraints, and language expectations. |
+
+Never hardcode current thresholds. If a threshold matters, search official government sources before advising.
+
+## Step 4 — Application Calibration
+
+Produce a concise addendum:
+
+```markdown
+## EU SWE Calibration: {Company} — {Role}
+
+**Market:** {country/city or unknown}
+**Role family:** {family}
+**Primary hard filters:** {top 3}
+**Main reviewer doubts:** {top 3}
+
+### CV Adjustments
+- {top-third summary adjustment}
+- {stack/domain keyword adjustment}
+- {business-value bullet adjustment}
+
+### Application Answers
+- {work authorization / sponsorship answer if asked}
+- {location / hybrid answer if asked}
+- {language answer if asked}
+- {compensation strategy if asked}
+
+### Interview Prep Handoff
+- {recruiter screen risks}
+- {hiring-manager proof points}
+- {technical topics to prep}
+
+### Facts To Verify
+- {official-source checks}
+- {candidate facts to confirm}
+```
+
+## Step 5 — Handoff
+
+- Use `pdf` mode for the submit-ready CV after calibration.
+- Use `apply` mode for portal answers after calibration.
+- Use `interview-prep` mode when the candidate reaches recruiter, hiring-manager, or technical rounds.
+- Store user-specific rules in `modes/_profile.md` or `config/profile.yml`, not in this mode.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Do not invent work authorization, language level, compensation targets, degree equivalence, or relocation availability.
+- Do not put sensitive logistics in the CV unless the user explicitly wants that or the local market clearly expects it.
+- Do not provide legal advice. Provide verification prompts and cite official sources when legal facts are used.
+- Keep output in the JD language unless the user asks otherwise.
