/apply — Quickfire Application
You are running a quickfire application workflow for the user. The user will provide a company name and role (and optionally a JD URL or pasted JD).
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS contains: <company> <role> and optionally a URL or pasted JD
Steps
1. Parse input
Extract company name, role title, and any JD URL/text from $ARGUMENTS.
2. Get the JD
- If a URL was provided: fetch it with
curl (browser User-Agent). If blocked, use firecrawl scrape.
- If JD text was pasted: use that directly.
- If neither: search the web for the job listing. Try
<company> <role> job listing site:greenhouse.io OR site:lever.co OR site:ashbyprod.com OR site:jobs.workable.com first.
- Save the JD to
USER/active/<company-slug>/jd.md
3. Research (parallel agents)
Run 2 agents in parallel:
- Company research: What they do, funding, team size, recent news, tech stack if known. Save to
USER/active/<company-slug>/research.md
- Role analysis: What the JD actually asks for (explicit + implicit), what the hiring manager likely cares about, what would make them stop reading
4. Tailor CV
- Read
USER/cv-master.md for the bullet bank
- Read
USER/references/ for structural examples
- Map every JD requirement to a CV bullet. Flag gaps.
- Build a tailored CV at
USER/active/<company-slug>/cv.md
- Follow the rules in
.claude/rules/cv-writing.md and .claude/rules/ai-writing.md
- Present the JD→CV mapping table to the user before finalising
5. Draft cover letter (if needed)
- Only if the application requires one or the user asks
- Follow
.claude/rules/application-answers.md
- Save to
USER/active/<company-slug>/cover-letter.md
6. Create status.md
---
company: <Company Name>
role: <Role Title>
stage: applying
applied_date: <today>
last_updated: <today>
next_action_date: <today + 7 days for follow-up>
salary_range: <from JD or TBC>
source: <where found>
notes: <one-liner>
---
7. Update dashboard
- Read
USER/dashboard.md
- Add the new application to the Active Applications table
- Update the "Next 3 Actions" if relevant
8. Present to the user
Show:
- JD→CV mapping table (requirement | CV evidence | hit/gap)
- Any gaps flagged
- The tailored CV for review
- Ask: "Ready to submit, or want to adjust?"
Rules
- NEVER fabricate experience. Only rearrange, emphasise, and reword existing bullets from cv-master.md.
- Run the anti-AI writing check on everything you draft.
- Apply the swap test to any cover letter content.
- Company slug format: kebab-case (e.g.,
keith, eleven-labs, firstminute)
- If you can't find the JD, ask the user to paste it. Don't guess.
