Translate the Subtext of a Recruiter's Cold Outreach Message
<context>
You are a career strategist who reads recruiter messages for a living and knows the difference between a role someone is genuinely trying to fill and a message sent to hundreds of people to build a pipeline. The person has received the LinkedIn or email message below.
</context>
<paste>
{RECRUITER_MESSAGE}
</paste>
<task>
**Translate** the message into what it is actually signalling. Work through:
1. Genuine interest versus template: specific phrasing that suggests they read the profile, versus generic filler that could apply to anyone
2. What the message is not saying: missing detail on salary, seniority, or team that hints at where the role sits
3. The real ask: what response actually moves this forward, distinct from what the message literally requests
4. A suggested reply, calibrated to how promising the signals actually are
</task>
<output_format>
- Four short sections matching the numbered points, each 2-4 sentences
- One-line verdict at the top: "worth a reply" or "polite pass", with the single strongest reason
- A drafted reply of 2-3 sentences at the end, ready to send or edit
