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
- Find the matching row (by company + role, fuzzy match OK)
- Show current status and proposed new status
- Ask for confirmation:
"Update {Company} - {Role} from {old status} to {new status}?"
- On confirmation, update the row
- If transitioning to "Applied", set Date Applied to today
- 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}."
Step 3: Statistics
## Your Job Search Dashboard
| Metric | Count |
|---|---|
| Total evaluated | {n} |
| Resumes tailored | {n with status >= Resume Ready} |
| Applied | {n} |
| Response rate | {responses / applied}% |
| Interviews | {n} |
| Offers | {n} |
| Average score (applied) | {avg}/5.0 |
| Active (not resolved) | {n non-terminal} |
**Top scoring opportunities:**
1. {Company} - {Role} ({score}/5.0) - {status}
2. ...
3. ...
**Needs attention (applied but no response > 7 days):**
- {Company} - {Role} - applied {date}
If there are evaluations without resumes tailored:
"You have {n} evaluations scoring 3.5+ without a tailored resume.
Want me to create one? Say 'tailor my resume for {top company}'."
Step 4: Suggest Next Actions
Based on current state:
- Mostly "Evaluated": "You've got evaluations but haven't applied to many.
Want me to tailor resumes for your top-scored roles?"
- Several "Applied" with no updates: "Time for follow-ups? I can draft
outreach messages to check in on your applications."
- Has "Interview": "Great, you have interviews! Want me to research
{company} to help you prepare?"
- Everything terminal: "Your current batch is wrapped up. Ready to scan
for new opportunities?"
