start

start is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sma1lboy/coforce-apply. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A complete cycle for finding suitable jobs, comparing them with an application tracker, preparing tailored resumes, and refreshing a review screen. It is part of CoForce Apply, a job-search assistant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover postings, filter them by fit, load full job descriptions, prepare resume PDFs, and send the results to a review queue.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated job checking and prevents duplicate applications while applying the user's preferences and standing instructions.

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

start 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/hunt.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Start — one discover→resume-review cycle

Setup must exist (~/.coforce/config.json, or a legacy apply-config.json/preferences.json pair — those migrate on first read); missing → run the setup skill first. Read ~/.coforce/instructions.md before anything else — it overrides every default below.

The console's Discover tab is the interactive twin of discovery: postings queued there become pending tracker entries and campaign dossiers. Treat them as first in line for resume generation.

Cycle

  1. Discover (the script ships with this skill, path relative to this skill's base directory):

    node "<skill-dir>/scripts/hunt.mjs" --track
    

    Fetches all configured sources, skips anything already tracked (URL or company+role match — never double-apply), anything already screened out (see step 2) and every never-apply company, tracks the rest as pending with a discovery history event. Report the summary (new / already-tracked / screened / blocked).

  2. Filter for fit: read ~/.coforce/config.json (canonical user intent — level, directions, needsSponsorship, workMode, locations, salaryFloor; schema in the setup skill) plus instructions.md. From the new pending entries, drop ones that clearly contradict either (wrong level, no-sponsorship posting when needsSponsorship is true, onsite-only when workMode is remote, excluded location):

    node "<skill-dir>/scripts/hunt.mjs" screen <url> --reason "<why>"
    

    That takes the posting out of applications.json and records it in the screening ledger instead. Never give a screened job a status — least of all rejected, which means a company turned the user down; a board that mixes the two lies about how the search is going. Discovery dedups against both ledgers, so a screened posting never comes back on its own, and hunt.mjs unscreen <url> reverses the call. Report how many were screened and why.

    Two hard gates run before soft fit judgment, and both quote the posting rather than paraphrasing it:

    • Eligibility gate: a posting that names a citizenship / permanent- residency requirement or a security clearance, against a config that says needsSponsorship: true → screen it out (hunt.mjs screen <url> --reason "<the quoted line>"), never a pipeline status: the reason quotes the exact requirement ("must be a US citizen"). Quoting matters: the user may know something about their status the config doesn't, and a verbatim quote lets them overrule from the board. Silence on citizenship is NOT a fail — silence is not permission, but it's not a rejection either; the posting proceeds unverified.
    • Language gate: a posting requiring, as a job condition, a language the profile doesn't carry at all → screen it out with the quoted line as the reason. Required language present but the stated bar ("fluent", "native", "C1") plausibly exceeds the profile's level → flag, don't drop: keep the entry, note the quoted requirement in the tracker entry so it surfaces at review. Judge the ad's language separately from the role's working language — a Danish-language ad for an English-working role passes.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

start is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sma1lboy/coforce-apply (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,696 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
