job-patterns

job-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from AkbarDevop/ai-job-agent. It costs 149 tokens per session (2,881 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-search analysis skill that reads application and outreach spreadsheets to find patterns in rejections, unanswered messages, interviews, and where applications stop progressing. It presents the findings in tables with suggested actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare outcomes by factors such as applicant-tracking systems, time to rejection, location, role type, application day, and outreach responses.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a job-search pipeline is performing a certain way instead of only showing its current status.

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-patterns 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 — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Job Patterns

Diagnostic companion to /job-track and /job-dashboard. Reads the two CSV sources of truth (application-tracker.csv + outreach-log.csv), slices them along the dimensions that actually predict outcomes (ATS, time-to-rejection, geography, role-type, day-of-week, outreach response), and renders 4-5 markdown tables plus 3 concrete actionable insights.

Where /job-track says what the pipeline looks like, /job-patterns says why it looks that way and what to change.

Repo location

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

Workflow

Step 1 — Resolve repo + read both CSVs

  1. Resolve $AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT (env var → default skills path → REPO_PATH marker → ~/ai-job-agent/).

  2. Read $AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT/application-tracker.csv (or $LOCAL_TRACKER).

    • Columns: date, company, role, status, location, source, applied_by, url, notes, contact, compensation, days_since, key
  3. Read $AI_JOB_AGENT_ROOT/outreach-log.csv (or $OUTREACH_LOG).

    • Columns: sent_at, company, role, to_name, to_email, to_title, to_linkedin, subject, body_file, message_id, status, replied_at, follow_up_count, last_follow_up_at, notes
  4. If application-tracker.csv is missing or has 0 rows, tell the user to run /job-apply or bash setup.sh and stop.

  5. If both files combined have fewer than 10 application rows, render this and stop:

    Not enough data yet (N applications). Patterns surface around 20-30 apps. Keep going for a week or two and re-run /job-patterns.

Step 2 — Compute the six signals

For each signal below, compute the slice → render the table.

Signal A — Rejection rate by ATS source/platform

Group application-tracker.csv by source (or infer from url host if source is empty). Bucket into: linkedin, greenhouse, lever, jobvite, ashby, workday, direct-email, other.

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.
