name	create-application
description	Orchestrates the creation of a full job application package. Triggers whenever the user shares a new job posting, provides a link/URL, pastes a job description or specification, or uses phrases like "apply for this job", "create application package", or "draft application". Generates CV, cover letter, and tracking files using the Candidate Profile.

Create Application Package

This skill orchestrates multi-step application creation. The agent MUST follow each phase sequentially and MUST NOT skip steps without user approval.

Step 1: Preparation

1. Read Inputs:
   • Job Offer (from arguments)
   • Candidate-Profile.md (Source of Truth)
2. Deep Analysis: Analyze the job post to understand requirements and fit.
3. Company Research: If deep research is missing, the agent SHOULD request the Researcher Agent to build a dossier.

Step 2: Strategy Definition

Decide on the application strategy based on analysis:

• Technical/Expert: Emphasize hard skills and projects.
• Business/Growth: Focus on ROI and results.
• Hybrid: Combine technical depth with business impact.
• Mission: Align with company values (for NGOs/Nonprofits).

Step 3: Material Generation

A. CV Generation

1. Load Guide: Read references/guide-tailor-cv.md.
2. Execute: Follow the workflow in the guide to generate CV-tailored.md.
   • Use references/cv-master-pattern.md as the template.

B. Cover Letter Generation

1. Load Guide: Read references/guide-generate-cover-letter.md.
2. Execute: Follow the workflow in the guide to generate Cover-letter.md.
   • Use references/cover-letter-templates.md for templates.

Step 4: Package Assembly

1. Structure: Files MUST be saved to /02-Applications/YYYY-MM/Company-Name/.
2. Consistency Check: Verify tone, formatting, and facts across all documents.
3. Additional Assets: MAY create Portfolio.md or Case-Study.md using data from the Profile if relevant.

Step 5: Finalization

1. Tracking: Run track-application to initialize the log.
2. Email Draft: Create a submission email using the template in references/templates.md.
3. Checklist: Verify completeness using the checklist in references/templates.md.

Step 6: Follow-up Plan

Schedule the first follow-up action (typically 1 week post-application) in the tracker.
