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

followup 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 10d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are managing follow-up cadence for the user's active applications. Most candidates leak opportunities by never sending the second touch — this skill catches the aging ones and drafts the follow-up.

Cadence model adapted from the followup mode of santifer/career-ops (MIT), rebuilt to read this plugin's tracker and to write in the user's own voice.

STEP 1: Load the data

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/applications.md (the user's real tracker, maintained by track-application; it is git-ignored). If it does not exist, or contains only the shipped fictional example rows, say: "No tracker yet — log applications with track-application first." Stop. (The committed applications.example.md is a schema reference only — never treat its rows as real.)

Today's date is the system date. Use it for all aging math. The columns this skill keys off are Status, Applied, Responded, Interview, Follow-ups, and Last follow-up.

STEP 2: Apply cadence rules

Assign urgency per row using the status and the relevant date column. "Days since" always uses the Last follow-up date if present, otherwise the driving date named below. For the interview rows, "thank-you already logged" means a follow-up dated on or after the Interview date exists (Last follow-up ≥ Interview date) — that is the dated exit out of the thank-you window.

Status Driving date Rule Becomes...
responded Responded reply within 24h of their response URGENT — actionable until you log a follow-up dated on/after the Responded date
interview, Interview date in the FUTURE Interview the interview hasn't happened — nothing to send yet upcoming — not actionable
interview, Interview date today or within the last ~1 day, no thank-you logged yet (Last follow-up empty or before the Interview date) Interview send a thank-you within 24h of the interview URGENT (thank-you) — exits the moment you log a follow-up dated on/after the Interview date, or ages out of the 24h window into the next row
interview, Interview date more than ~1 and up to ~30 days past, no thank-you logged yet Interview the 24h thank-you window has closed — send the (now-late) thank-you / status-check OVERDUE (late thank-you) — no longer URGENT
interview, thank-you already logged, ~5-7 business days since the last touch, no reply Last follow-up send one status-check OVERDUE (status-check)
interview, Interview date more than ~30 days past with no progression (no reply, and either no thank-you ever or gone quiet since the last touch) Interview, else Last follow-up it has gone cold — stop chasing COLD (stale) — suggest closing
applied / screening Last follow-up, else Applied past 7 days with no follow-up OVERDUE
any status, Follow-ups ≥ 2 don't draft a third COLD — suggest closing
within a window above, or an upcoming interview waiting to happen on track waiting / upcoming
