How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
18 rules. About 0 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 9 are very specific to this project.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Job Application Tracker
Manage the job hunt pipeline. All data in data/applications.csv.
Commands
Parse user input to determine which command to run:
add [company] [role]
Add new application. Default: status=researching, priority=2. Override with -p 1|2|3.
update [company] [status]
Change status. Valid: researching → applied → interviewing → offer | rejected | declined
Auto-updates last_contact to today.
list
Show active applications grouped by priority (excludes offer/rejected/declined).
followup
Show applications needing follow-up (7+ days since last contact).
report
Weekly pipeline summary: counts, activity, what needs attention.
notes [company] [text]
Add timestamped note to application.
contact [company] [name] [email]
Add or update contact info.
priority [company] [1|2|3]
Change priority level.
archive
Show all applications including closed ones.
After Any Mutation
After any command that changes data/applications.csv (add, update, notes, contact, priority), regenerate the dashboard automatically:
uv run job-search/scripts/ops/generate_dashboard.pyDo not ask the user; this keeps the dashboard in sync with the tracker.
Implementation
Use scripts/tracker_commands.py for all CSV operations. Import and call functions directly — don't rewrite CSV logic.
CSV Schema
| Column | Description |
| company | Company name |
| role | Job title |
| job_url | Link to posting |
| status | Current status |
| date_added | When first added (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| date_applied | When formal application submitted (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| last_contact | Last communication date |
| contact_name | Hiring manager/recruiter |
| contact_email | Contact email |
| priority | 1=high, 2=standard, 3=backlog |
| notes | Timestamped notes |
Rules
- NEVER edit
applications.csvdirectly. Always usescripts/tracker_commands.pyfunctions (add_application,update_status,add_note,add_contact). Direct CSV edits bypass Todoist sync and validation. - After any tracker modification, sync to Todoist using
scripts/todoist_sync.py(skipped automatically ifintegrations.todoist_enabled: falseinconfig.yaml). - Read CSV before any operation
- Write CSV after any modification
- Preserve all existing data
- Use ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
Integration
- company-research → company dossier (culture, signals, fit) that feeds tracking decisions before applying
- cv-tailor → prepares materials before applying

Error Handling
- If company is not found on update operations, return explicit "not found" and suggest
list. - If priority/status is invalid, reject write and return allowed values.
- If CSV is malformed, stop write operations and require repair before proceeding.
After Completion
After tracker operations, suggest the next logical action:
- After

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
