dear-hiring-manager

Collect fresh job-posting URLs into ~/.dear-hiring-manager/urls.txt by running an Apify job scraper — the discovery source for /batch. Runs a configured Apify actor via the Apify API (Bearer-header auth) with a search built from the profile's desired titles + level + location, extracts the direct application URL per job, and de-dupes against already-submitted jobs. Use for /apify-collect.

Interview the user and build their job-application profile — identity, contact, work authorization, EEO/demographics, and the standard screening answers (non-compete, felony, sponsorship) — plus register their resume. Use for /onboard or whenever the user wants to set up or edit their dear-hiring-manager profile before applying to jobs.

Batch job-application filler. Given several job URLs (or a urls.txt file), run the assisted-apply flow for each in its own browser tab — fit-gate, fill-or-flag, stop before Submit — skipping stale or low-fit postings, then present one combined review table so the human can approve each tab one by one. Use for /batch or whenever the user wants to apply to multiple jobs at once.

Assisted job-application filler. Given a job posting URL, open it in a browser via Playwright, extract the JD and company, score resume-to-JD fit, fill every form field from the user's profile and answer memory, flag anything uncertain, and STOP before Submit for human review. After the human submits, capture their edits back into answer memory. Use for /apply or whenever the user wants help applying to a specific job.

Generate a tailored, truthful cover letter from the user's resume, profile, and a specific job description. Draft it in the user's voice, ground every claim in the resume (no fabrication), map it to the role, flag it for review, and save a copy. Used by the apply skill when a portal has a cover-letter field, or standalone via /cover-letter <job-url>.

Make generated prose read like a real person wrote it, not AI. A shared rulebook of banned words, punctuation rules, and structural patterns that strip the AI "voice" from any free text — used when drafting open-ended application answers and cover letters. Truthful always; humanizing never adds a claim not grounded in the resume/profile.

Application tracker board. Read ~/.dear-hiring-manager/applications.md and render a status board (grouped by blocked/skipped/filled/submitted/rejected/interview/offer with counts and a response-rate summary), and update an application's status + date when the user reports progress (e.g. "mark Transcend as interview"). Use for /board or whenever the user wants to see or update their job-application pipeline.
