Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

follow-ups scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review the user's application tracker for anything that needs a nudge, and draft the follow-up emails.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

This command takes no required arguments — it reads applications.json from the project root. If arguments name a specific company, limit the review to that company's entries.

If applications.json doesn't exist or has no applications, say so and suggest /job-hunt to start populating it.

Protocol

1. Find entries needing attention

Read applications.json and today's date. Flag entries where:

  • Stale: last_updated (or date_applied when last_updated is empty) is more than 14 days ago AND the status is still active (applied, phone_screen, technical, onsite — not saved, offer, rejected, or withdrawn)
  • Due: next_action_date is today or in the past, whatever the status

For saved entries older than 14 days, don't draft a follow-up — list them separately as "decide: apply or drop".

2. Report

Show a table:

Company Role Status Days since update Next action Why flagged

3. Draft follow-up emails

For each flagged active entry, draft a short follow-up email. Match the tone rules of the user's industry style — read preferences.industry_style from career-profile.json and the corresponding file at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/resume-updater/references/industry-styles/<industry_style>.md, applying the same tone and no-generic-phrases rules the /cover-letter command uses.

Email rules:

  • 60-120 words; subject line included
  • Reference the specific stage ("since our phone screen on…", "since I applied on…") using dates and contacts from the tracker entry
  • Add one line of genuine value where the profile supports it (a relevant recent accomplishment, a link to work) — never invented
  • Warm, direct close with a clear ask (status check or next step); zero desperation, no guilt-tripping
  • Address a named contact from contacts when one exists, otherwise the recruiting team

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
