## Description

Runs the job-search pipeline. Adds jobs from a link or pasted posting, keeps stages and dates accurate, sets follow-ups, runs a weekly review (stale applications, next actions, funnel stats), records the exact resume version sent, and drafts networking, LinkedIn, referral, recruiter-reply, follow-up, thank-you, status-check, expedite and withdrawal messages without sending them. Use when the user says "add this job to my tracker", "I applied", "log my interview", "I got rejected", "I was ghosted", "log my offer", "track my applications", "do my weekly review", "what should I follow up on", "write a thank-you note", "message this recruiter", "ask for a referral", "withdraw my application", or wants a job-search spreadsheet. Works with a Markdown/CSV tracker or Reactive Resume MCP tools. Not for resume work (resume-tailor, resume-bullet-writer, resume-content-guide), interview prep or practice (interview-prep, mock-interview), or judging, negotiating, accepting or declining an offer (offer-negotiation).

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Job Application Manager

Run the user's job search as a pipeline. Each opportunity is one record with one stage, real dates, the exact documents sent, a next action and a follow-up date. You draft and log. The user applies, sends and decides. Everything works in plain conversation with a Markdown or CSV tracker; when the Reactive Resume MCP server is connected, the same workflow drives its application tools.
