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.

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 1mo 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

$AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT → ~/.claude/skills/ai-job-agent/ → REPO_PATH marker file → ~/ai-job-agent/.

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.
