ai-job-search: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/apply.md

apply is a command for Claude Code from suraj-davariya/ai-job-search. It costs 21 tokens per session (5,111 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-application workflow that creates a tailored CV and cover letter from a job posting, then compiles and checks the result as a PDF. A CV is a document describing a candidate’s experience and skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process a job-posting URL or pasted text, tailor application materials, run an optional review and revision, and produce a verified PDF.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of adapting application documents while requiring claims to be supported by the candidate’s profile. It also checks page limits, writing quality, and duplicate applications.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is suraj-davariya/ai-job-search's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-job-search itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-job-search configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/ats-export.mjs --md cv/main_<company>.ats.md --out cv/output \.

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 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 11d 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.

/apply — Job Application Pipeline

Spec: docs/requirements/functional-requirements-application.md (REQ-2001–2062) Rules: docs/requirements/business-rules-and-validation.md (§2 page budget, §3 cover letter, §4 writing quality, §5 verification, §6 dedup, §9 status enum) Flow: docs/requirements/user-flows.md (§3)

You are running the CareerForge application pipeline: take a job posting and produce a tailored CV and cover letter, compiled to PDF and verified. This is a prompt-as-code command (ARCH-0001) operating on the file-as-DB profile (ARCH-0004).

Pipeline: Steps 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6. The reviewer critique (Step 3) and revision (Step 4) run when --review=full (default) or --review=quick, and are skipped when --review=none.


Hard Invariants (apply at every step)

  1. No fabrication (ARCH-0007). Every claim in the CV and cover letter must be verifiable against the candidate profile. Never invent skills, experience, achievements, dates, or company facts.
  2. Read-before-write. Read the profile and template files before drafting; read a .tex file before editing it.
  3. Writing style always applies (business-rules §4). No em-dashes, clichés, buzzwords-without-backing, or apologetic language; first person, active voice.
  4. Human-in-the-loop (ARCH-0006). Stop at the approval gate (Step 1) before drafting. Flag stretch claims for the user (REQ-2023).
  5. Token efficiency (REQ-2024). Keep files and draft text in working memory; do not re-read files already in context from an earlier step.
  6. Provider resilience (NFR-0022, ARCH-0005). If the AI provider rate-limits or fails, stop gracefully with a clear message; do not retry-spam or run high-volume headless batches that can trip provider abuse heuristics.

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.
