database

database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spinningrachel/career-engine. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared vocabulary for a job-application tracker, such as Notion or Airtable. It defines what application statuses and priority values mean and who may change them.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for deciding which roles are new, need research, or are ready for later processing, while applying the correct priority and field ownership rules.
Why use it?
It keeps different parts of the application process consistent regardless of which database stores the records.

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

database 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database — Pipeline Concepts

Backend-neutral vocabulary for the job applications tracker. Any database backend implements the same concepts here. Field names, tool calls, and query mechanics are backend-specific — see the adapter skill for those.

Backend adapters:

  • Notion (default): skills/database-notion/SKILL.md — read ladder, view discovery, writeback syntax, schema

Status Values

Status is the single property that drives what the pipeline does with a role. The user sets and updates it; agents update it at pipeline completion only.

Status Who sets it Meaning
New user (manual add, or any future sourcing pipeline) True entry point — where a role sits immediately after being added, before Prioritization has touched it. Not yet triaged: no JD fetch, no location read, no priority score. This is what the Prioritization pipeline fetches by default.
Needs Research user, or Prioritization pipeline (on completion) Being researched before a decision to apply. NOT handled by the CV-writing pipeline. Use the intake pipeline (--coach-skills) to research Needs Research roles. That pipeline runs the career coach, writes strategic properties, and promotes Needs Research roles to Researched. (Renamed from Hold — same meaning, same trigger, purely a label change.)
Interested user The user has decided to apply. This is what the New Application pipeline fetches. Move a role from Needs Research → Interested (or add directly as Interested) when a CV and cover letter need to be produced. Intake does not process Interested roles — it only processes Needs Research roles.
Needs editing user Queued for the editing pipeline. Pipeline starts from existing outputs — does not run fresh.
CV Ready for Review pipeline (on completion) Pipeline finished; the user needs to review before sending.
Applied user Sent.
Researched intake pipeline (on completion) Coach has run market intelligence — competitive landscape, priority scoring, strategic properties. Role is ready for the user to decide whether to move to Interested.

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.

database is a skill published in the GitHub repository spinningrachel/career-engine (4 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,673 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 2026-08-31.
