## TASK:
1. **Extract ALL coding languages and frameworks** mentioned in the job description
2. **Use the skill_aliases mapping** to normalize skill names (e.g., "JS" → "JavaScript", "React.js" → "React")
3. **Only include skills from the coding_categories** (languages and frameworks)
4. **Avoid duplicates** - if "JavaScript" and "JS" are both mentioned, only include "JavaScript"
5. **Be thorough** - look for skills mentioned in:
   - Job title
   - Job description
   - Brief summary
   - Requirements sections
   - Nice-to-have sections

## SKILL CATEGORIES TO EXTRACT:
- **Languages**: Programming languages (PHP, Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, Go, Rust, etc.)
- **Frameworks**: Web frameworks and libraries (Laravel, React, Vue.js, Angular, Django, Spring Boot, etc.)
- **Databases**: Database systems and data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, DynamoDB, etc.)
- **Tools**: Development tools and infrastructure (Git, Docker, AWS, CI/CD, Jenkins, Kafka, etc.)

## EXCLUSION RULES:
- Do NOT extract general skills (communication, languages like English, etc.)
- Do NOT extract business skills (Excel, PowerBI for non-technical roles)
- Do NOT extract work arrangements (remote, physical presence)
- Do NOT include methodologies (Agile, Scrum, etc.) unless specifically technical
- Do NOT include skills already in existing_skills_from_database

## OUTPUT FORMAT:
Return ONLY valid JSON in this exact structure:
{
  "job_id": <integer>,
  "extracted_skills": [
    {
      "skill_name": "<normalized_skill_name>",
      "category": "<languages|frameworks|databases|tools>",
      "confidence": <integer 0-100>,
      "mentioned_as": ["<original_mention_1>", "<original_mention_2>"],
      "context": "<brief_context_where_found>"
    }
  ],
  "reasoning": {
    "total_skills_found": <integer>,
    "skills_by_category": {
      "languages": ["<skill1>", "<skill2>"],
      "frameworks": ["<skill1>", "<skill2>"],
      "databases": ["<skill1>", "<skill2>"],
      "tools": ["<skill1>", "<skill2>"]
    },
    "duplicates_removed": ["<original_mention> → <normalized_name>"],
    "excluded_skills": ["<skill>", "<reason>"]
  },
  "confidence": <integer 0-100>
}

Return nothing outside the JSON object.
