SkillEra Companion is now TWO focused extensions. This one is the Career Suite:
job-fit analysis, tailored resume & cover letters, LinkedIn optimization, and
application tracking.

• The AI Prompt Optimizer (for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini & Perplexity) has moved to
  its own separate extension. Search "SkillEra Companion - Prompt Optimizer" in
  this store, or get it at https://skillera.io/products/prompt-optimizer
• Refreshed toolbar icon.
• Privacy hardening: your resume is never passed through a URL.

Why the split: the store's Single Purpose policy asks each extension to do one
thing well. Splitting keeps each one lean and requests only the permissions it
needs. Nothing you saved is lost - your resume, history, and tracked applications
stay on your SkillEra account.

• AI Prompt Optimizer on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. An optional
  "Optimize" button appears on the message box; clicking it refines the user's
  request into a clearer, more effective prompt. It refines only the instruction
  wording and leaves any embedded code or content untouched, and it never answers
  the prompt for the user.
• Advanced mode for a deeper rewrite (2 tokens instead of 1).
• Persistent style preference and remembered category per site.
• On by default; can be disabled globally or per-site from the popup.
• Persistent interview skill capture. Finishing a re-evaluation or profile
  interview now extracts concrete, resume-worthy skills and saves them to the
  user's profile, so they count in every future job-fit analysis. A confirmation
  ("Added N skills") is shown on completion.
• Companion Hub review controls. New Skills section (add/remove) and Interview
  answers section (view/edit/delete) on skillera.io/companion.
• Two-tab popup splitting Professional (job search) and AI Assistant (prompt
  optimizer) settings, below the SkillEra login and token balance.
• "Update your skills" link on the instant skill-check results — opens your
  profile to add a skill flagged as a gap, and the results refresh automatically
  when you return (no manual rescan).

• Job/profile features previously shipped server-side (skills highlighter,
  multi-account support, job preferences) are now part of the published build.
• host_permissions reconciled with the content-script matches so the two lists
  agree; added the four AI-chat hosts for the optimizer.
• Branding. The on-page Optimize pill and the Analyze-fit / SkillEra launchers
  now use the SkillEra blue and the extension's own icon (replacing the earlier
  indigo and emoji), for a consistent, professional look.

• Instant skill check missed inflectional variants. The free skill match now
  stems words, so "Data Warehouse" ≡ "Data Warehousing", "reports" ≡ "reporting",
  "databases" ≡ "database", etc. — while still matching whole tokens only (no
  partial-word false positives). Also fixed a skill directly followed by a period
  ("Warehousing.") failing to match.
• Skills could diverge between the extension and your account. Manual skills
  now union-merge in both directions on load, so skills added on another device or
  in the hub appear everywhere
• Optimize button stopped responding after an extension reload. The optimizer
  now detects the invalidated context and tears its pill down cleanly instead of
  showing a dead button.
• In-page "Update your skills" link was blocked in some browsers; it now opens
  the profile page reliably via the background worker.
• Duplicate application tracking on refresh. Re-visiting or refreshing a job
  posting now updates
