Final orchestrator skill that assembles the complete Japanese filing package for Japan-resident self-employed individuals and sole proprietors (個人事業主). Consumes outputs from all Japanese content skills (japan-consumption-tax for 消費税, japan-income-tax for 所得税確定申告, japan-social-insurance for 社会保険料, jp-estimated-tax for 予定納税) to produce a single unified reviewer package containing every worksheet, every form, every brief section, all cross-skill reconciliations, and the final action list with payment instructions, filing instructions, and next-year planning. This is the capstone skill that runs last and produces the final deliverable. MUST be loaded alongside all Japanese content skills listed above. Japan full-year residents only. Self-employed individuals and sole proprietors (個人事業主) only.
ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL when a user asks for help preparing their Japanese tax returns AND mentions freelancing, self-employment, 個人事業主, フリーランス, sole proprietorship, or kojin jigyounushi. Trigger on phrases like "確定申告を手伝って", "help me file my kakutei shinkoku", "I'm a freelancer in Japan", "prepare my blue return", "I'm self-employed in Japan", or any similar phrasing where the user is a Japan-resident self-employed individual needing tax return preparation. This is the REQUIRED entry point for the Japanese self-employed tax workflow -- every other skill in the stack (japan-consumption-tax, japan-income-tax, japan-social-insurance, jp-return-assembly) depends on this skill running first to produce a structured intake package. Uses upload-first workflow -- the user dumps all their documents and the skill infers as much as possible before asking questions. Uses ask_user_input_v0 for structured questions instead of one-at-a-time prose. Built for speed. Japan full-year residents only; self-employed individuals and sole proprietors (個人事業主).
