batch

Batch apply (many jobs, one review)

Fill N applications, each in its own tab, all parked before Submit. The human reviews the whole batch at the end. This orchestrates the apply skill once per URL — identical invariants, fill-or-flag, and fit-gate. You never Submit anything.

Unattended by design — walk away while it runs. Filling is sequential (one tab at a time; a single agent has no true parallel — that's the Phase-3 daemon's job), but you don't watch it. The batch never pauses for you mid-run: anything that needs a human (account/login wall, email verification, CAPTCHA) is marked blocked and skipped, to handle together at review. Come back to the parked + blocked tabs and review/submit in one pass. Sessions can expire, so come back within a reasonable window, not days later.

Input

• URLs passed as arguments (space- or newline-separated), OR
• if none are given, read ~/.dear-hiring-manager/urls.txt (one URL per line; skip blank lines and lines starting with #).

Preconditions

• ~/.dear-hiring-manager/profile.md must exist — else stop and tell the user to run /dear-hiring-manager:onboard first.

Procedure

1. Collect the URL list (args or urls.txt), de-dupe, and report the count. If more than ~10 URLs, process the first 10 this run and tell the user the rest were deferred (avoid a runaway).

2. For each URL, in its own tab:

   • Open a new browser tab for it (browser_tabs action new) — one application per tab, all kept open.
   • Run the apply skill procedure on that tab:
     • Stale/closed posting (redirect to board root / ?error=true, no form) → mark skipped, move on.
     • Extract JD + company; score fit; fit-gate: below the profile's Minimum fit score to apply or a hard-eligibility blocker → mark skipped, do not fill, move on.
     • Otherwise fill-or-flag every field; generate a cover letter if the portal has one; stop before Submit.
   • Update the row in applications.md (status: skipped | filled | blocked; record fit + flag count).
   • Anything that needs a human — account/login wall, email verification, CAPTCHA, unreadable form → set status=blocked with the reason, leave the tab open, and move on. Never pause the batch, and never create an account unattended. Never let one URL abort the batch or sit in-progress.
