setup-schedule

Create or update the Career Navigator daily brief as a Cowork scheduled task. When the task fires each morning, it delivers a full operating brief: pipeline digest, Gmail inbox scan (two-pass strategy to catch missed status emails), follow-up alerts, and top new job recommendations appended to recommendations.json.

1. Verify Career Navigator setup

Read {user_dir}/CareerNavigator/profile.md.

If the profile is missing, output:

Daily schedule not set up: run /career-navigator:launch first to initialize Career Navigator.

Then stop.

2. Check for an existing scheduled task

Load and call mcp__scheduled-tasks__list_scheduled_tasks. Look for any task whose taskName contains career-navigator or whose prompt mentions Career Navigator.

If a matching task is found:

• Display its current schedule and a one-line summary of its prompt
• Ask: "A daily brief is already scheduled. Would you like to update the time, update the prompt, or keep it as-is?"
• If the user wants to update: follow Steps 3–5 but use mcp__scheduled-tasks__update_scheduled_task with the existing task's ID instead of creating a new one
• If the user wants to keep it: confirm "Your daily brief is already scheduled." and stop

3. Confirm preferred schedule

Ask: "What time would you like your daily brief? Default is 7:00 AM daily."

Accept natural language and convert to a cron expression:

Input	Cron
"7am" / "7:00 AM" / default	0 7 * * *
"6:30am"	30 6 * * *
"8am weekdays"	0 8 * * 1-5
"6am every day"	0 6 * * *

If the user confirms the default, proceed without further prompting.

4. Build the self-contained task prompt

Application data uses the split layout defined in references/tracker-schema.md — read it before any read or write. The task prompt below carries its own copy of that instruction, because each scheduled run starts in a fresh session.

Resolve {user_dir} to its actual absolute path on disk (e.g. /Users/jane/career).
