apply

apply is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alwaysmap/jobs4me. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A job-application skill that creates a cover letter and can create a tailored resume for a tracked role. A tailored resume is adjusted to highlight experience relevant to one job.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting cover letters, tailoring resumes, and preparing materials for a specific tracked job.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of adapting application materials while keeping them based on the job seeker's existing profile.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

apply 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 4d 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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apply for a Role

Generate application materials — a cover letter and optionally a tailored resume — for a specific tracked role.

Files

File Loaded when
SKILL.md (this file) Always
references/voice.md Step 7 (cover letter), Step 8 (tailored resume) — contains the principles, mechanical rules, anti-pattern list, anti-fabrication rule, no-subtitle rule, and cover letter template. MANDATORY before any draft.
references/pdf-rendering.md Step 12 — pandoc / xelatex setup, fonts, margins, H1 handling.

When to Trigger

  • User explicitly asks to write a cover letter or application
  • User says "help me apply to {company}"
  • User says "draft materials for {company}"
  • User moves a role to applied and asks for help with the application

Workflow

  1. Read profile.yaml, archetypes.yaml, and tracker.yaml.
  2. Find the application matching the company:
    node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tracker.js find --company "Company Name"
    
    If multiple roles are returned for the same company, list them with role titles and stages and ask which one:

    I found two roles at Google:

    1. Staff Engineer (maybe)
    2. Engineering Manager (applied)

    Which one are you applying to?

  3. Get file paths:
    node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tracker.js paths --id <id>
    
  4. Read the JD (from {role_dir}/jd.md). If it doesn't exist, ask the user for the posting URL and fetch + save it.
  5. Read the Company Overview if it exists ({company_dir}/overview.md). If not, generate one first (see prep skill).
  6. Read the user's evidence (in priority order — see Evidence Sources below).
  7. Read references/voice.md — mandatory before drafting. Generate the cover letter, applying every rule in voice.md plus profile.yamlwriting_voice (the user's durable voice rules).
  8. Ask the user if they'd like a tailored resume. If yes, generate it under the same voice rules (the no-subtitle rule and mechanical rules in references/voice.md apply); see Tailored Resume below for the resume-specific adjustments.
  9. Save files to the role directory:
    • Cover letter → {role_dir}/cover-letter.md
    • Tailored resume → {role_dir}/resume.md (if requested)
  10. Move the role to applied if it isn't already:
    node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/tracker.js stage --id <id> --stage applied
    
  11. Show the user what was created. Present the cover letter inline (full text) so they can review it without opening a file:

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
