apply

A guided workflow for preparing a job application from a job posting, using the posting as a URL or pasted text. It drafts and reviews application materials while keeping confirmed candidate facts in a profile file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse a job posting, draft application materials, review the draft, and record newly confirmed skills, achievements, or project details.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of unsupported claims and keeps job applications grounded in the candidate’s real experience.

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

apply scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

/apply - Drafter-Reviewer Job Application Workflow

You are orchestrating a two-agent job application workflow. The job posting is provided below as $ARGUMENTS (either a URL or pasted text).

Follow these steps exactly in order. Do not skip steps.

Standing rule — write new facts back to the profile. If the user confirms, corrects or supplies a fact that is not already in 01-candidate-profile.md — a metric, a project detail, a skill, a scope correction — update that file in the same turn. Do not leave it living only in the conversation or in a draft.

This is not bookkeeping. A fact that exists only in chat will be treated as unsupported by a later session and stripped from drafts as a fabrication. Anything absent from the sources does not exist as far as future drafting is concerned, and the loss is silent — a real achievement quietly disappears from every subsequent CV.

This rule is the input side of the Step 3 Factual Grounding Audit, not a competitor to it. The audit is deliberately strict: an ungrounded claim is removed, and it cannot tell a fabrication from a real fact the user stated out loud last week. That strictness is correct, and it is exactly why confirmed facts have to reach the sources in the same turn they surface. Write to 01-candidate-profile.md specifically — it is one of the audit's three sources, so a fact recorded there is grounded on the next run. Adding a fact to 01 that CLAUDE.md and the master CV simply do not mention is an absence, not a contradiction, and does not trip the audit's profile-consistency warning; if the new fact corrects something either of those states, fix it there too rather than leaving the two sources disagreeing.

Token-efficiency rules for this workflow:

  • Never re-Read a file whose contents are already in your context from an earlier step. If you read it in Step 1, it is still available in Step 2.
  • When dispatching the reviewer agent, pass draft content inline in the agent prompt rather than asking the agent to Read files you already have in memory.
  • Run the full verification checklist exactly once, at the end (Step 6). The reviewer focuses on content critique, not verification.
  • Step 5 (compile and inspect PDFs) is mandatory and non-skippable — page-break decisions are unpredictable, and source files that look fine often produce broken PDFs (orphaned entry titles, cover letters spilling to page 2, bullet fonts mismatching).

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.

apply is a command published in the GitHub repository MadsLorentzen/ai-job-search (39,400 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 7,824 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
