followup

followup is a skill for Claude Code from alwaysmap/jobs4me. It costs 137 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for deciding which job applications need attention and drafting follow-up messages. It covers timing advice for applied roles and outreach to hiring managers, contacts, and recruiters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review your applied roles, decide what to do next, check whether it is too soon to contact someone, or draft outreach for a particular company.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork about when to follow up with a role-specific recommendation and prepared messages.

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 9d 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 — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Follow Up on Applied Roles

Shell setup: Always export JFM_DIR='<workspace path>' (single quotes) before running tracker commands. The script refuses to operate if it can't resolve a real workspace.

Read ../search/references/routing.md before processing any user message — it defines how to decompose compound messages and where to route each type of input.

This skill has two modes that share context and tone but serve different jobs:

  • Mode 1 — Briefing. Invoked as /jfm:followup with no args. Produces a timing-aware briefing of every role in the applied stage: what to do next on each one, why, and which actions cluster together this week.
  • Mode 2 — Single-role outreach drafting. Invoked as /jfm:followup {company}. Runs a short validating conversation about one role, then drafts three templated outreach variants (cold hiring manager, warm intro ask, recruiter ping) and saves them to the role's directory alongside the cover letter.

Files

File Loaded when
SKILL.md (this file) Always
references/timing.md Mode 1 — cadence bands, override mechanism, days-since-applied source-of-truth, two-stage recommendation selection, follow-up-date stamping.
references/mode-2-drafting.md Mode 2 only — single-role workflow, context-card protocol, validating conversation, template shape, save format. Skip entirely in Mode 1.
references/example-output.md Mode 1 — sample briefing on a synthetic 6-role board, for shape reference.
references/outreach-example.md Mode 2 — full file shape for {role_dir}/outreach.md.
../search/references/routing.md First — before processing any user message.

Hard constraint: data access goes through tracker.js

Every tracker / profile / filters read and write goes through scripts/tracker.js. The skill never parses tracker.yaml, profile.yaml, or filters.yaml directly — not even for reads. This keeps backups, validation, board rebuilds, and schema consistency centralized in one script.

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.
