| description | This skill should be used when the user wants to add a new company or job to their Excel tracker (List.xlsx). Triggers on phrases like "add [company] to tracker", "I applied to [company]", "track [company]", "save [company] for later", "add [company] [role]", "new application at [company]". |
Add New Job to Tracker
Add a new row to List.xlsx (the job application tracker at the path in config.py → TRACKER_FILE).
Column layout
- A: Company name
- B: Role title
- C: Role link (job posting URL)
- D: Status
- E: HR contact (leave empty)
- F: Comments (leave empty)
Status values
- Default (applied):
done
- Save for later / not yet applied:
In progress
If the user doesn't specify, use done.
Steps
- Ask the user for any missing info: company name (required), role title, job URL. If they provided it already, skip asking.
- Open
List.xlsx using openpyxl. Handle PermissionError by working from a temp copy.
- Use the first sheet (
wb.active at load time — read it before any writes to avoid sheet-shift bugs).
- Append the new row at the bottom: Company, Role, URL, Status, empty, empty.
- Save the file.
- Confirm to the user: company name, role, status, and which row it was added to.
Things to check
- If the company already exists in the tracker, mention it and ask if they still want to add a new row (they may have a different role).
- Leave columns E and F empty — HR contacts are managed separately via the update-hr workflow.
