What it does

View and update your job application tracker. See all applications, filter by status, update progress, and get statistics on your search. Use when someone says 'show my applications', 'how is my job search going', 'update status', or 'tracker'.

Application Tracker

View and manage your job applications in one place.

Step 0: Load Tracker

Read data/applications.md. If it doesn't exist, create it with the header:

# Job Applications

| Date Added | Date Applied | Company | Role | Score | Status | Evaluation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Then tell the user:

"Your tracker is empty. Evaluate a job posting to get started, or paste a JD and I'll score it for you."

Step 1: Parse User Intent

  • No argument / "show tracker" / "my applications": Display full table + stats
  • Status filter ("show applied" / "what's in interview"): Filter by status
  • Company filter ("show Stripe"): Filter by company name
  • Update ("update Acme PM to Interview"): Change status of matching row
  • Stats ("how's my search going" / "search stats"): Show summary statistics
  • Delete ("remove the Acme entry"): Confirm, then remove row

Step 2: Display

Full View

Show the table as-is from applications.md, then show stats below it.

Filtered View

Show only matching rows, then summary:

"Showing {n} applications with status '{status}'."

Update Flow

  1. Find the matching row (by company + role, fuzzy match OK)
  2. Show current status and proposed new status
  3. Ask for confirmation:

    "Update {Company} - {Role} from {old status} to {new status}?"

  4. On confirmation, update the row
  5. If transitioning to "Applied", set Date Applied to today
  6. If transitioning to "Accepted", congratulate them!

Validate transitions against references/states.md. If invalid:

"Can't move from {old} to {new}. Valid next steps: {list}."
