job-outreach

job-outreach is a skill for Claude Code from AkbarDevop/ai-job-agent. It costs 157 tokens per session (2,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-search workflow that researches a company or hiring manager, drafts a tailored cold email, and sends it only after your approval. It uses local email software and a CSV file to record outreach.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps contact hiring managers, recruiters, or company leaders by email and track messages for follow-up after seven days. It requires a candidate profile, email setup, and an outreach log.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of researching contacts, writing relevant messages, and remembering who needs a follow-up. You still approve every email before it is sent.

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-outreach 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Job Outreach

A skill (not an API call) for cold outreach. Claude — this agent — does the research and drafting. A small Node script sends via msmtp. A CSV logs the send.

This is the pattern behind the 228+ cold emails that led to the GFT offer in 12 days. Keep it short, honest, and specific to the person. Never auto-send.

Repo location

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

Prerequisites

Before drafting anything:

  1. msmtp installed (command -v msmtp should resolve). If not, tell the user:

    brew install msmtp
    

    and configure ~/.msmtprc with their Gmail app password. See docs/SETUP.md#cold-email-setup-msmtp--gmail. Stop until set up.

  2. config/candidate-profile.md exists (required for personalization). If not, tell the user to run bash wizard.sh first.

  3. outreach-log.csv exists at $AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT/outreach-log.csv. If not, copy from templates/outreach-log.template.csv.

Workflow

Step 1 — Understand the target

Parse $ARGUMENTS. It might be:

  • A company name (e.g. "GFT Infrastructure")
  • A LinkedIn profile URL (linkedin.com/in/...)
  • A direct email ([email protected])
  • Freeform ("the VP of Power Services at GFT" — ask a clarifying question if ambiguous)

Load config/candidate-profile.md so you know who is sending (Akbar's pitch, resume variants, work auth, graduation date, key projects).

Step 2 — Research

Use WebSearch + WebFetch to pull 3-5 facts about the company and the person. Aim for:

  • What the company actually does (not the generic pitch — specifically: what project, what market, what recent news)
  • The person's role and relevant recent activity (recent post, team they lead, quoted in an article)
  • A credible hook — one thing the sender has actually done that connects to their work (not "passionate about your mission")

If you can't find anything specific after ~3 searches, tell the user "I can't find anything concrete to personalize with — do you have any context (a mutual connection, a talk they gave, an article)?" and wait for them.

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.
