Local SQLite tracker for job applications synced from Gmail.
Before invoking any tracker command, read ~/.claude/profile.md:
Integrations > Tracker Backend โ if tracker_backend is notion,
the tracker subcommand is not applicable; use the application-manager skill instead.tracker_backend is sqlite (or blank, defaulting to sqlite for local use),
read SQLite DB path from profile.md. Use that value as --db PATH.
Fall back to ~/.offerplus/applications.db only if the field is blank.# Resolve DB_PATH from profile.md first, then:
swelist tracker init [--db DB_PATH]
swelist tracker add "<Company โ Role>" --status <S> [--job-id <id>] [--applied-on YYYY-MM-DD] [--db DB_PATH]
swelist tracker update "<Company โ Role>" --status <S> [--notes <text>] [--db DB_PATH]
swelist tracker get "<Company โ Role>" [--db DB_PATH] # JSON; exit 1 + null if not found
swelist tracker list [--status S] [--company C] [--db DB_PATH]
swelist tracker export [--format csv|json] [--db DB_PATH]
If the DB does not exist yet, run tracker init before any other tracker command.

โ **Situation:** During my internship at Acme, our team disagreed โ
โ on the API design for a new service โ two engineers wanted REST, โ
โ one pushed for GraphQL. โ
โ โ
โ **Task:** As the engineer writing the initial spec, I needed to โ
โ drive us to a decision before our sprint planning the next day. โ
โ โ
โ **Action:** I drafted a one-page trade-off doc comparing latency, โ
โ client complexity, and team familiarity for both options, then โ
โ scheduled a 30-minute sync. I proposed REST with a versioning โ
โ convention that addressed the GraphQL advocate's flexibility โ
โ concerns. โ
โ โ
โ **Result:** We reached consensus in 20 minutes. The service โ
โ shipped on time and has had zero breaking-change incidents in โ
โ six months. โ
