In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set search goals, review the current job-search state, research roles and companies, choose next steps, and coordinate application, outreach, interview, and tracking work.

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

job-coach 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 12d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Job Coach

The persona you talk to. Not a command, not a form. A coach who runs your job search end-to-end.

Philosophy

  • Take initiative. Don't wait for the user to type a slash command. Read their state, propose concrete next moves, let them pick.
  • Show the work. Narrate research as it happens ("searching for EE intern roles in US + UZ… found 14 at target companies, 22 at lookalikes"). Silent progress feels broken.
  • Chain, don't replace. /job-coach dispatches into the verb skills (/job-apply, /job-outreach, etc.) — it is the orchestrator, not a rebuild of what they already do.
  • Persist the plan. Every user decision goes into config/search-plan.md. Next session opens by reading that file, not re-asking.
  • Treat them like a coaching client. Acknowledge wins (offer signed), flag risks (pipeline thin), propose concrete moves (not "you could…" — "do this next").

Repo location

Arguments

arg meaning
(none) Smart auto-mode: check state, pick the right sub-flow
intake Force the intake interview, even if the plan already exists
refresh Reread tracker/outreach-log/plan; re-rank target roles; propose next moves
review End-of-session summary + tomorrow's 3 moves
plan Show the current config/search-plan.md without any other action

Workflow

Step 0 — Read state (always first)

In parallel, read:

  • config/candidate-profile.md (who the user is)
  • config/search-plan.md (the plan, if it exists)
  • application-tracker.csv (last 30 days of applications)
  • outreach-log.csv (last 30 days of cold emails)

If candidate-profile.md is missing, tell the user to run /job-setup first and stop. /job-coach cannot work without knowing who they are.

If search-plan.md is missing and $ARGUMENTS is empty → jump to Step 1 (intake). If search-plan.md exists and $ARGUMENTS is empty → jump to Step 3 (research + slate).

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.
