Application Visualizer Refresh

Use this skill when the user wants to refresh, rebuild, or update the application tracker visualization website data.

For full recruiting sessions, start with recruiting-pipeline; it uses this skill at the beginning for read-model freshness and at the end after tracker changes.

Source Files

Application tracker: application-trackers/applications.md
Outreach tracker: application-trackers/outreach-prospects.md
Job intake tracker: application-trackers/job-intake.md
Website data output: application-visualizer/src/data/tracker-data.json

Default Command

Run this from the CodexSkills repo root:

python3 skills/application-visualizer-refresh/scripts/refresh_visualizer_data.py

That command parses both markdown trackers, normalizes markdown links, computes statistics, and writes the JSON consumed by the React site.

Website Commands

From application-visualizer:

npm run refresh
npm run build

npm run build already runs the refresh script before compiling, so Vercel builds pick up the latest committed markdown data.

Guardrails

Treat the markdown trackers as the source of truth.
Do not edit application rows while refreshing visualizer data.
If parsing fails, fix the parser or malformed markdown instead of hand-editing generated JSON.
Keep generated JSON committed when deploying the static Vercel site.
