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

board 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.

What it actually says

Tracker board

Read and maintain the application pipeline in ~/.dear-hiring-manager/applications.md (the flat-file tracker). Two jobs: show the board and update a status.

Show

  1. Read applications.md. If it's missing or has no rows, say so and point to /dear-hiring-manager:apply or :batch.
  2. Render a board grouped by status, in pipeline order: blocked → skipped → filled → submitted → rejected → interview → offer.
    • A count per column header.
    • One line per application under its status: company — role (fit N · applied <date> · N flags).
    • A one-line summary: totals, and response rate = (interview + offer) / (submitted + rejected + interview + offer) — i.e. responses over everything ever submitted (status is single-valued, so an advanced app has left the submitted bucket). Show n/a when that denominator is 0.
  3. Surface what's actionable:
    • blocked apps (CAPTCHA / unreadable form) → need your manual action; list them first.
    • filled apps not yet submitted → parked, awaiting the human's Submit.
    • submitted apps with no status change in >14 days → consider a follow-up.

Update

When the user reports progress (e.g. "Transcend → interview", "Airbnb rejected"):

  1. Find the matching row in applications.md by company/role.
  2. Set its status and append a dated note in the flags/notes column (e.g. interview 2026-07-20). Never delete history — append.
  3. Re-render the board.

Rules

  • Flat-file only; applications.md is the single source of truth, human-readable Markdown.
  • Status lifecycle: in-progress → blocked | skipped | filled → submitted → rejected | interview | offer.
  • Never fabricate a status — only reflect what the human reports or what apply/batch recorded.
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.
