apply

A guided tool for filling out one job application from a job-posting link. It reads the role details, compares them with your résumé, fills the form, and leaves the final submission for you.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting job details, checking résumé fit, completing application fields, recording the application, and preparing it for human review.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive form filling while keeping you in control of uncertain answers and the final decision to apply.

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 yesterday.

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

Apply (assisted, human owns Submit)

Fill one job application from a URL. You never click Submit. You fill, flag, and hand back a browser tab parked at the Submit button for the human to review, edit, and send.

Data lives in ~/.dear-hiring-manager/: profile.md, answers.md, applications.md, resume.*.

Preconditions

  • If ~/.dear-hiring-manager/profile.md is missing, stop and tell the user to run /dear-hiring-manager:onboard first.

Procedure

  1. Open the posting. Use the Playwright MCP tools to navigate to the URL. Take a page snapshot (accessibility tree / DOM) — do not rely on vision unless the DOM is unusable. If the URL redirects to the board root or an error page (e.g. ?error=true, only a job list / "Back to jobs", no job title or application form), the posting is closed or expired — stop and tell the user; do not proceed.

  2. Extract JD + company. Pull role title, company, location, and the job description. Detect the ATS from the URL/DOM (greenhouse, lever, ashby, workday, other). Append a row to applications.md (create from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/applications.template.md if missing) with status=in-progress (fit is filled in the next step; status advances as the run proceeds): date | company | role | url | ats | fit | status | flags.

  3. Score fit — FIRST FILTER (hard gate, nothing filled before it passes). Read resume.* and the JD, give a 0–100 fit score with a 2–3 line rationale (matched strengths, gaps), and record it in the tracker row. Read the user's Minimum fit score to apply from profile.md (default 50 if unset). If the score is below that threshold — or there's a hard-eligibility blocker (the role's country needs work authorization the user lacks) — STOP here: set the tracker row status=skipped (reason: low-fit or ineligible), report the score, the threshold, and why, and do not fill the form. The user can override by replying "apply anyway" or lowering their threshold.

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.

apply is a skill published in the GitHub repository extrasmall0/dear-hiring-manager (108 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,572 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
