Job radar

JobRadar

A configurable job hunting assistant. All user preferences are read from config.yaml. No hardcoded values in this file — everything is a variable.

---

Step 0 — Always Load Config First

Locate config.yaml by checking these paths in order — use the first one found:

1. ./config.yaml — current working directory (project-local config takes priority)
2. ~/.claude/skills/job-radar/config.yaml — global fallback

Extract:

{name}              ← hunter.name
{email}             ← hunter.email
{university}        ← hunter.university (string, optional)
{majors}            ← hunter.majors (list, optional)
{graduation_year}   ← hunter.graduation_year (integer, optional)
{level}             ← hunter.level
{roles}             ← hunter.roles (list)
{eligible_majors}   ← hunter.eligible_majors (list, may be empty)
{locations}         ← hunter.locations (list)
{industry}          ← hunter.industry (list — one or more values)
{work_type}         ← hunter.work_type (internship | graduate | contract | permanent | any)
{sources}           ← hunter.sources (map of enabled/disabled)
{target_companies}  ← hunter.target_companies (list, may be empty)
{exclude_companies} ← hunter.exclude_companies (list, may be empty)
{base_path}         ← hunter.base_path
{cv_path}           ← hunter.cv_path
{cv_format}         ← hunter.cv_format
{cl_format}         ← hunter.cover_letter_format
{digest_time}       ← hunter.digest_time
{digest_channel}    ← hunter.digest_channel

If config.yaml is not found, ask:

"I couldn't find config.yaml. Would you like me to create one? Just tell me your name, target roles, locations, and career level."

Step 0.1 — Validate Config

After loading, validate before proceeding. Check every rule below. If any rule fails, stop and output the full error block — do not attempt to run the requested module.

Required fields (must be present and non-empty):

• hunter.name — non-empty string
• hunter.email — non-empty string, contains @
• hunter.level — must be one of: intern | graduate | junior | mid | senior | lead | manager | director | vp | executive
• hunter.roles — non-empty list (at least 1 entry)
• hunter.locations — non-empty list (at least 1 entry)
• hunter.industry — non-empty list; each entry must be one of: tech | finance | accounting | consulting | healthcare | government | education | energy | retail | legal | marketing | hr | construction | manufacturing | any
• hunter.work_type — must be one of: internship | graduate | contract | permanent | any
• hunter.base_path — non-empty string, should end with /

Optional but typed (validate if present):

• hunter.university — if present, must be a string
• hunter.majors — if present, must be a list of strings
• hunter.graduation_year — if present and not null, must be a 4-digit integer between 1980 and 2100
• hunter.sources — if present, must be a map; each value must be true or false
• hunter.digest_time — if present, must match HH:MM format (24h)
• hunter.digest_channel — if present, must be one of: gmail | slack | none
• hunter.cv_format — if present, must be one of: docx | pdf
• hunter.cover_letter_format — if present, must be one of: docx | pdf

Error output format:

❌ config.yaml has errors — fix these before running JobRadar:

  • hunter.level: "senoir" is not a valid level. Must be one of: intern | graduate | junior | mid | senior | lead | manager | director | vp | executive
  • hunter.industry: "fintech" is not a valid industry. Must be one of: tech | finance | ...
  • hunter.roles: is empty — add at least one target role

Run /job-setup to fix your config interactively, or edit config.yaml directly.

If validation passes, proceed silently — no success message.

Startup Greeting

Step 1 — Load status data (silent):

• Read {base_path}tracker.json if it exists
• Compute: {active} = entries with status in (watchlist, applied, oa, interview, final_round, offer)
• Compute: {closing_soon} = entries where deadline is within 7 days and status not in (rejected, withdrawn, ghosted, accepted)
• Compute: {interviews} = entries with status in (interview, final_round)
• Read seen.json if it exists → get {seen_count} = length of hashes array
• Check scans/ folder → find most recent scan file → extract date as {last_scan}

Step 2 — Render greeting:

🎯 JobRadar — {name}

{if active > 0}
  📊 {active} active application{s}  {if interviews > 0}· {interviews} at interview stage{end}
  {if closing_soon entries exist}
  ⚠️  Closing soon: {closing_soon entries as "Company — Role (deadline)"}
  {end}
  Last scan: {last_scan date or "never"}
{else}
  No applications tracked yet — run /job-scan to find your first roles.
{end}

Here's what I can do:
🔍 /job-scan       — search all job boards + company career pages
🧠 /job-eval       — honest fit score, ATS keywords, Bottom Line verdict
📄 /job-cv         — tailor CV to a specific JD
🧩 /job-gaps       — fixable gaps + hard gap interview scripts
✉️  /job-cover      — cover letter, 4 paragraphs, role-specific
🎤 /job-prep       — STAR behavioural + technical prep + mock interview
📝 /job-oa         — OA prep: coding, video interview, psychometric, case study
📬 /job-digest     — send Gmail digest with today's top picks
📊 /job-track      — add or update an application
🗂️  /job-status     — full dashboard of all applications
🤝 /job-network    — alumni map + personalised outreach drafts
✉️  /job-followup   — draft follow-up or thank-you email
⚙️  /job-setup      — update config (roles, locations, level, companies)

What's first?

Conciseness rule: if {active} = 0 and {last_scan} = "never", skip the stats block entirely and go straight to the command list. Don't pad with zeros.

Module 1: Job Scan

Step 0 — Stale Scan Check

Before searching, check if scans/Jobs_{today}.md already exists.

If it does:

"A scan for today ({YYYY-MM-DD}) already exists. Re-run and overwrite, append as a new run, or view existing results?"

• View: display the existing file, stop.
• Overwrite: proceed, save to scans/Jobs_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md (replaces existing).
• New run: save to scans/Jobs_{YYYY-MM-DD}_{HH-MM}.md using current time (e.g. Jobs_2026-05-26_14-32.md). Preserves the original.

Step 0.5 — Load Dedup Index

Load seen.json from the project root.

If file doesn't exist, initialise in memory (do not write yet):

{ "last_updated": "{today}", "hashes": [] }

Fingerprint format — one string per listing, built at search time:

• Primary (when URL is available): {source_key}|{url} — e.g. seek|https://www.seek.com.au/job/78291047
• Fallback (no URL): {source_key}|{company-slug}|{role-slug} — e.g. linkedin|atlassian|swe-intern-2026

Source keys: seek, linkedin, gradconnection, indeed, company, aus_internship_finder

Slugs: lowercase, hyphens only, drop punctuation. "SWE Intern 2026/27" → swe-intern-2026.

Store the loaded hash set in memory for Step 2 filtering.

Step 1 — Build Search Queries

For each role in {roles} and each location in {locations}, build queries dynamically.

Work type filter: append {work_type} to all queries unless work_type = "any".

• internship → add "intern" OR "internship"
• graduate → add "graduate" OR "grad program"
• contract → add "contract" OR "fixed-term"
• permanent → add "full-time" OR "permanent"

Per enabled source in {sources}:

# Seek (if sources.seek = true)
site:seek.com.au "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# LinkedIn (if sources.linkedin = true)
site:linkedin.com/jobs "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# GradConnection (if sources.gradconnection = true)
site:au.gradconnection.com "{role}" internship Australia

# Aus Internship Finder (if sources.aus_internship_finder = true)
# Company discovery only — NOT a source of truth for timing or deadlines.
# This is a single-page app — NOT indexed, do NOT use site: search.
# Use raw data to find which companies run programs:
#   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YangS1718/aus-internship-finder/main/asset.json
# For actual deadlines and open/close dates: search Seek, GradConnection, LinkedIn,
# or each company's career page directly — those are always more current.
# Search pattern: "{company_name}" careers internship {year}

# Indeed (if sources.indeed = true)
site:indeed.com.au "{role}" "{work_type}" {location}

# Company sites (if sources.company_sites = true and target_companies not empty)
"{company}" careers "{role}" {location}   ← for each company in {target_companies}

Browse fallback: Some job boards (Seek, LinkedIn) are JavaScript-rendered and may return incomplete results via WebSearch/WebFetch. If a source returns 0 results or clearly incomplete data:

• If gstack /browse is available: use it to load the page directly and extract listings
• Otherwise: retry with a more specific search query, note the issue in Scanner Notes

Eligibility filter (if {eligible_majors} not empty): Include roles mentioning any keyword in {eligible_majors}. Skip roles requiring unrelated degrees only.

If {eligible_majors} is empty: no eligibility filtering — show all results.

Exclude filter (if {exclude_companies} not empty): Remove any listing where the company matches an entry in {exclude_companies}. Do this silently — don't list excluded results.

Step 2 — Score and Deduplicate

For each listing found across all sources:

2a — Build fingerprint using the format defined in Step 0.5.

2b — Dedup check:

• If the fingerprint exists in the loaded hash set → mark listing as [seen], exclude from Results table.
• If not in hash set → mark as [new], include in Results table.
• Track all [new] fingerprints in a separate list for Step 4.

2c — Score each [new] listing:

• Role title matches {roles} → base score
• Location matches {locations} → weight
• Eligibility matches {eligible_majors} → weight (skip if empty)
• Industry alignment with {industry} → bonus
• Tech stack/skill overlap with CV → bonus (if CV loaded)

2d — Report dedup stats in the Scan Summary table: {X} new | {Y} already seen (hidden) — so user knows what was filtered.

Step 3 — Present Results

Use this exact structure every run — do not add extra sections, urgency boxes, or duplicate tables:

# {industry joined by " / "} Jobs — {YYYY-MM-DD}
Level: {level} | Work type: {work_type} | Locations: {locations joined by " | "}
Roles: {roles joined by " | "}

## Scan Summary
| Source | Status | Notes |
|--------|--------|-------|
| {source} | ✅ OK / ⚠️ Partial / ❌ Failed | {notes} |

Total found: {X} | New: {N} | Already seen: {S} (hidden) | Actionable (open now): {Y} | Not yet open: {Z} | Closed: {C}

---

## Results

| # | Company | Location | Role | Match | App Opens | App Closes | Program Dates | Source | Link |
|---|---------|----------|------|-------|-----------|------------|---------------|--------|------|
| 1 | {company} | {location} | {role} | {X}% | {date/—} | {date/🔴/⚠️/🟢} | {start–end} | {platform} | [Apply/View](...) |
...

---

## 🔥 Top Picks

1. **{role} @ {company}** — {why it's a strong fit, 1 sentence}. {call to action: "Apply today." / "Set a reminder for {date}."}

---

## ⚠️ Scanner Notes

- {source}: {issue — blocked / 0 results / timeout / estimated deadline}
- Scan time: ~{X} min

Key rules:

• Closed listings stay in the main Results table (with 🔴 Closed {date}) — do NOT move them to a separate section
• No extra "This Week" / "Act Now" / "Urgent" boxes — urgency is conveyed by 🔴 in the table and ordering
• Top Picks: one sentence why + one call to action. No paragraph descriptions.

Column definitions:

• App Opens — when applications open; use month/year or "Rolling" if continuous
• App Closes — hard deadline if known; use status icon if exact date unavailable
• Program Dates — actual internship/program period (e.g. "Nov 2026–Feb 2027")
• Source — where the listing was found (Seek / LinkedIn / GradConn / Company / etc.)

App Closes status icons:

• 🔴 Closed or closes within 7 days — act today or skip
• ⚠️ Open now, no hard deadline — apply this week, closes when filled
• 🟢 Not open yet — set a reminder
• DD Mon YYYY — exact date if known from listing

Search for deadline info:

• Always check the listing page for a stated close date
• If not stated, search the company's career page and Seek/GradConnection/LinkedIn directly for the latest deadline — do not rely on static references
• Note explicitly when a deadline is confirmed vs estimated

Sort by App Closes ascending (soonest first), with 🔴 at top, then ⚠️, then 🟢 at bottom.

Step 4 — Save Scan + Update Dedup Index

4a — Save scan file to: scans/Jobs_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md (or timestamped variant per Step 0).

4b — Update seen.json:

• Take the list of [new] fingerprints collected in Step 2.
• Append them to the hashes array in the loaded seen.json object.
• Set last_updated to today.
• Write the full updated object back to seen.json.
• Do not deduplicate the hashes array itself — duplicates are harmless and writes are faster.

4c — Confirm:

✅ Scan saved → scans/Jobs_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md
✅ seen.json updated — {N} new fingerprints added ({total} total)

Report source issues proactively:

⚠️  Scanner Notes
- {source}: {issue — blocked / 0 results / timeout}
- Scan time: ~{X} min

Offer: "Want me to evaluate any of these JDs, or tailor your CV for a top pick?"

---

Module 2: JD Analysis

Step 0 — Save Raw JD Immediately

Save to {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/jd.md before any analysis. Confirm: ✅ JD saved → {path}

Step 1 — Role Snapshot

Company:   {name}
Role:      {title}
Location:  {location}
Level:     {intern / graduate / junior / mid / senior / lead / manager / director / vp / executive}
Type:      {full-time / part-time / contract}
Duration:  {if stated}
Deadline:  {if stated}

Step 2 — Requirements Extraction

Must-Have (dealbreakers): bullet list Nice-to-Have (bonus): bullet list Key Responsibilities (top 5): bullet list Culture signals: keywords (fast-paced / ownership / collaborative / etc.) Red flags: vague stack / unpaid / overqualification mismatch / etc.

Step 3 — ATS Keywords

10–15 exact phrases an ATS would filter on. Must appear verbatim in tailored CV.

Step 3.5 — Salary Benchmarking

Search for salary data for this role, location, and level. Sources to check:

• Seek: seek.com.au/career-advice/role/{role} salary guide
• LinkedIn Salary: linkedin.com/salary
• Glassdoor: glassdoor.com.au
• Levels.fyi (for tech roles): levels.fyi

Present as:

## Salary Range — {Role} @ {Location} ({level})
| Source | Range (AUD) | Notes |
|--------|-------------|-------|
| Seek   | $X – $Y     | {notes} |
| Glassdoor | $X – $Y  | {notes} |
| Levels.fyi | $X – $Y | tech only |

Estimate: ${median} – ${75th percentile} AUD
Note: {intern/grad/contract rates differ — call out if applicable}

If no data found for a source, note it. Don't fabricate numbers.

Step 4 — Fit Summary

One paragraph: what this role really wants, honest assessment vs {level} and {roles} profile.

Step 5 — Save + Chain

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/jd_analysis.md Auto-offer: "Want me to run the coverage map against your CV now?"

Module 5: Coverage Map + Gap Assessment

Requires: JD analysis + CV (ask to paste or upload if not provided).

Produces three files.

---

File 1: coverage_map.md

# Coverage Map — {Role} @ {Company}
Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
Level: {level}

| # | JD Requirement | Your Evidence | Coverage | Notes |
|---|----------------|---------------|----------|-------|
| 1 | {requirement} | {evidence from CV} | ✅ Strong | {note} |
| 2 | {requirement} | {evidence from CV} | ✅ Mostly | {note} |
| 3 | {requirement} | {adjacent evidence} | ⚠️ Adjacent | {note} |
| 4 | {requirement} | Not in CV | ❌ Gap | {note} |

## What Aligns ({n}/{total})
- {genuine strength}

## What Doesn't ({n}/{total})
- {honest gap}

## Bottom Line

| Question | Answer |
|----------|--------|
| Fit score | {X}% |
| Should you apply? | ✅ Yes / ⚠️ Maybe / ❌ No |
| Why? | {1 honest sentence} |
| Dealbreaker | {specific gap, or "None"} |
| Better target | {2-3 alternatives if No, or "N/A"} |

Coverage labels:

• ✅ Strong — direct evidence in CV
• ✅ Mostly — strong but partial
• ⚠️ Adjacent — related skill, different discipline
• ❌ Gap — not in CV at all

Fit score guide:

• 80–100% → Strong, apply now
• 60–79% → Competitive, apply with honest framing
• 40–59% → Borderline, close key gaps first
• <40% → Weak, redirect to better targets

Module 3: CV Customisation

Requires: CV ({cv_path} or user uploads) + JD analysis + coverage map.

Step 1 — Load CV

Read from {cv_path} if accessible. Otherwise: "Please paste your CV or upload the file."

Step 2 — Cherry-Pick Best Evidence

Find the strongest evidence across all experience for each JD requirement. Don't use the first bullet found — rank options, pick best.

Step 3 — Apply Adjacent Framing

For ⚠️ Adjacent: reframe real experience using exact JD language. Never fabricate.

Step 4 — Generate Tailored CV

Follow /mnt/skills/public/docx/SKILL.md (if {cv_format} = docx) or appropriate skill.

Structure (adapt headings to {level}):

1. Name + Contact (email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub/portfolio)
2. Summary (3 lines, role-specific, mirrors JD language)
3. Education (degree, institution, graduation, relevant coursework if {level} = intern/graduate)
4. Technical Skills (grouped to mirror JD taxonomy exactly)
5. Projects (top 3, most JD-relevant first — emphasise for intern/graduate)
6. Experience (ordered by relevance to JD — emphasise for mid/senior)
7. Certifications / Awards

ATS rules: exact JD phrases; no layout tables; no text boxes.

• 1 page → intern/graduate
• 2 pages → mid/senior/lead
• 2–3 pages → manager/director/vp/executive (board roles, board bios, executive bios may differ)

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/CV_{Company}_{Role}_{date}.{cv_format}

---

Module 4: Cover Letter

Requires: CV + JD analysis. Run after Module 3.

4 paragraphs, ~350 words. Tone adapts to {level}:

• intern/graduate → enthusiasm, learning, fresh perspective
• mid/senior → impact, leadership, specific outcomes
• manager/director → team results, organisational influence, cross-functional leadership
• vp/executive → vision, business outcomes, P&L, strategic transformation

Opening: Specific hook. Name the role, one genuinely interesting thing about the company. Never "I am writing to express my interest."

Body 1: 2-3 concrete examples matching JD must-haves. Exact JD phrases.

Body 2: Why excited, what you bring, honest adjacent framing for gaps.

Closing: Clear call to action, availability, enthusiasm.

Save to: {base_path}{company}/{job_title}/CoverLetter_{Company}_{Role}_{date}.{cl_format}

---

Module 6: Interview Prep

Requires: JD analysis + CV. Adapts to {level} and role type.

Behavioural (8 questions, STAR): tailored to JD soft skill signals + {level}.

• intern/graduate → learning fast, teamwork, handling feedback, university projects
• mid/senior → leading teams, trade-offs, stakeholder management, owning outcomes
• manager/director → hiring, performance management, org design, cross-team influence
• vp/executive → vision-setting, board communication, P&L ownership, company transformation

Technical (10 questions): Definitely / Possibly / Good-to-prepare.

Assessment by role type:

• SWE / Product Eng: algorithms, system design (depth scales with {level})
• Data / AI: SQL, ML concepts, statistics, case studies
• DevOps / Security: scripting, cloud, networking, security concepts
• Product Design: portfolio, case study, Figma, design critique
• Finance / Consulting: case interviews, modelling, industry knowledge

Mock interview: "I'll ask one question at a time and give structured feedback."

---

Module 7: Digest

Run Module 1, then send via {digest_channel} MCP. Do not ask for confirmation.

Subject: 🎯 Job Digest {YYYY-MM-DD} | {X} roles | {Y} strong fits

Module 8: Config Update

When user says "update my config", "change my roles", "add a location", etc.:

1. Show current config values for the relevant section
2. Apply the change
3. Save updated config.yaml
4. Confirm: ✅ Config updated — {what changed}

Example triggers:

• "Add Brisbane to my locations" → append to hunter.locations
• "I'm now looking for mid-level roles" → update hunter.level
• "Add Canva to my target companies" → append to hunter.target_companies
• "Remove GradConnection" → set hunter.sources.gradconnection: false

---

Module 9: Application Tracker

Source of truth: {base_path}tracker.json. tracker.md is a read-only view — always generated from JSON, never edited directly.

tracker.json structure

{
  "last_updated": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "applications": [
    {
      "id": "atlassian-swe-intern-2026",
      "company": "Atlassian",
      "role": "SWE Intern 2026/27",
      "location": "Sydney",
      "status": "applied",
      "applied_date": "2026-05-01",
      "deadline": "2026-06-30",
      "source": "GradConnection",
      "url": "https://au.gradconnection.com/...",
      "match_score": 90,
      "next_step": "Wait for response",
      "outcome": null,
      "outcome_date": null,
      "interview_date": null,
      "offer_deadline": null,
      "rejection_reason": null,
      "start_date": null,
      "notes": ""
    }
  ],
  "networking": [
    {
      "id": "sarah-chen-atlassian-2026",
      "name": "Sarah Chen",
      "company": "Atlassian",
      "role": "Software Engineer",
      "university": "University of Melbourne",
      "major": "Computer Science",
      "graduation_year": 2024,
      "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/in/sarah-chen",
      "status": "drafted",
      "contacted_date": null,
      "reply_status": "not_sent",
      "related_application_id": "atlassian-swe-intern-2026",
      "last_message_summary": "Asked for advice about SWE internship path",
      "notes": ""
    }
  ]
}

Status enum (machine values — map from user language):

• watchlist — saved, not yet applied
• applied — submitted, waiting
• oa — online assessment / take-home in progress
• interview — interview scheduled or in progress
• final_round — final interview stage
• offer — received offer
• accepted — offer accepted
• rejected — application unsuccessful
• withdrawn — withdrew application
• ghosted — no response in 4+ weeks

Networking status enum (networking[].status):

• drafted — message drafted, not sent
• sent — user sent message manually
• replied — alumni replied
• meeting_scheduled — coffee chat / call scheduled
• referred — referral or concrete intro offered
• no_reply — no reply after follow-up window

ID generation: lowercase hyphenated slug — {company}-{role-keywords}-{year}. Keep short and unique. Example: atlassian-swe-intern-2026, canva-product-eng-intern-2026.

Tracker operations

Step 1 — Load tracker.json:

• Read {base_path}tracker.json
• If file doesn't exist, initialise: {"last_updated": "{today}", "applications": [], "networking": []}
• If an older tracker exists without networking, treat networking as an empty array and add it on next write.

Step 2 — Add or update:

Add new application:

• Generate an id slug from company + role + year
• Create a new entry with status: "applied", applied_date: today, and all known fields
• For any unknown field (source, url, match_score, deadline) set to null
• Append to applications array

Update existing application:

• Find entry by matching company (case-insensitive) + role (partial match OK)
• Update only the fields the user mentioned: status, next_step, notes, outcome, deadline
• Leave all other fields unchanged

Status transition rules — auto-populate on status change:

New status	Auto-set fields	Ask user (if not provided)
applied	applied_date: today	—
oa	next_step: "Complete assessment"	deadline if not set
interview	next_step: "Prepare for interview"	interview_date
final_round	next_step: "Final round prep"	interview_date
offer	outcome: "offer received", outcome_date: today	offer_deadline
accepted	outcome: "accepted", outcome_date: today	start_date
rejected	outcome: "rejected", outcome_date: today	rejection_reason (optional — "no reason given" if skipped)
withdrawn	outcome: "withdrawn", outcome_date: today	—
ghosted	outcome: "no response", outcome_date: today	—

After a terminal status (accepted, rejected, withdrawn, ghosted), suggest: 💡 Want to run /job-followup to send a thank-you or follow-up email?

Step 3 — Write tracker.json:

• Set last_updated to today
• Write the full updated JSON back to {base_path}tracker.json

Step 4 — Regenerate tracker.md:

• Generate {base_path}tracker.md from the current tracker.json data
• Format:

# Application Tracker
Last updated: {YYYY-MM-DD}
> Auto-generated from tracker.json — do not edit directly.

| # | Company | Role | Location | Status | Applied | Deadline | Next Step | Notes |
|---|---------|------|----------|--------|---------|----------|-----------|-------|
| 1 | Atlassian | SWE Intern 2026/27 | Sydney | 🟡 Applied | 2026-05-01 | 2026-06-30 | Wait for response | |

Status icon mapping for tracker.md display:

• watchlist → 👁️ Watchlist
• applied → 🟡 Applied
• oa → 🔵 Assessment
• interview → 🟢 Interview
• final_round → 🟠 Final Round
• offer → 🏆 Offer
• accepted → ✅ Accepted
• rejected → 🔴 Rejected
• withdrawn → ⏸️ Withdrawn
• ghosted → 💤 Ghosted

Sort order in tracker.md: active first (watchlist → applied → oa → interview → final_round → offer), then closed (accepted → rejected → withdrawn → ghosted).

Always confirm: ✅ Tracker updated → {base_path}tracker.json (tracker.md regenerated)

Networking record operations

Module 11 owns networking[], but Module 9 defines the storage contract.

When adding or updating a networking record:

• Find by linkedin_url first; fallback to name + company case-insensitive.
• Preserve original profile fields (name, company, role, university, graduation_year) unless the user explicitly corrects them.
• Update only interaction fields: status, contacted_date, reply_status, related_application_id, last_message_summary, notes.
• Set last_updated to today.
• Do not render networking rows into tracker.md; keep tracker.md application-focused.

---

Module 10: Application Status

Read {base_path}tracker.json (not tracker.md) and present a live dashboard.

Step 1 — Load: Read {base_path}tracker.json. If missing: "No applications tracked yet. Say 'I applied to [company]' to start." Stop.

Step 2 — Compute stats:

• Total, Active (non-closed statuses), Interview (interview + final_round), Offers (offer + accepted), Closed (rejected + withdrawn + ghosted)
• Stale: entries where applied_date is 14+ days ago and status is still applied or oa
• Networking: count networking[] by status (drafted, sent, replied, meeting_scheduled, referred, no_reply)

Step 3 — Present dashboard:

# Application Status — {name} — {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Summary
Total: {n} | Active: {n} | Interview: {n} | Offers: {n} | Closed: {n}
Networking: Drafted {n} | Sent {n} | Replied {n} | Meetings {n} | Referrals {n}

## 🏆 Offers
{entries with status offer or accepted — show company, role, deadline, next_step}

## 🟢 Interviews / Final Round
{entries with status interview or final_round — sorted by deadline asc}

## 🟡 Applied — Waiting
{entries with status applied or oa — sorted by applied_date asc}

## 👁️ Watchlist
{entries with status watchlist}

## ⚠️ Needs Attention
{stale entries — no status change in 14+ days; flag for follow-up or close}

## 🔴 Closed
Rejected: {n} | Withdrawn: {n} | Ghosted: {n}
(type /job-status closed to see full list)

## 🤝 Networking
{if networking exists: show top 5 active contacts with company, status, next step; else "No alumni contacts tracked yet."}

Deadlines: flag 🔴 any deadline or offer decision within 7 days. Recommended next action: one sentence based on current state (e.g. "You have 2 interviews this week — focus on prep.")

If an entry has match_score, show it as a small indicator: [90%].

Module 11: Alumni Networking

Help the user discover where similar alumni work, choose who to contact, and draft authentic outreach. This module uses hunter.university, hunter.majors, and hunter.graduation_year from config.

Privacy rule: save alumni data only under networking/. Never write alumni names, LinkedIn URLs, or outreach notes to tracked docs.

Safety rule: never send LinkedIn messages automatically. Draft only; the user reviews and sends manually.

Command modes

Mode	Purpose
/job-network --spike	Validate whether LinkedIn search data is extractable in the current browser/session
/job-network --map	Build networking/alumni_map.json grouped by current company
/job-network --list [company]	Read saved map and show contact candidates
/job-network --reach {company}	Draft personalised outreach for selected alumni
/job-network --prep {name}	Prepare coffee chat questions and referral ask script

Preflight

Before any mode except --list, validate:

• hunter.university exists and is non-empty
• hunter.majors exists and has at least one entry
• hunter.graduation_year is a valid 4-digit year

If missing, stop with:

I need your alumni search profile first:
- university
- majors
- graduation_year

Run /job-setup or say "set my university to ..." and I’ll update config.yaml.

--spike — LinkedIn extractability check

Goal: decide whether Chrome/LinkedIn extraction is viable before building automation.

Steps:

1. Ask user to confirm they are logged into LinkedIn in Chrome.
2. Build one manual search query using the first major: site:linkedin.com/in "{university}" "{major}" "{graduation_year}" "Software Engineer" Australia
3. If browser tooling is available, navigate to LinkedIn people search or Google results and inspect whether names, titles, companies, and URLs are visible as text.
4. Record result in networking/spike_report.md.

Report format:

# LinkedIn Networking Spike — {YYYY-MM-DD}

## Result
Pass / Partial / Fail

## Tested query
{query}

## Extractability
| Field | Result | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|
| Name | pass/partial/fail | |
| Current company | pass/partial/fail | |
| Role/title | pass/partial/fail | |
| LinkedIn URL | pass/partial/fail | |

## Decision
- If Pass: proceed with /job-network --map
- If Partial: use Google `site:linkedin.com/in` fallback and limit output confidence
- If Fail: do not automate; provide manual search queries only

--map — Alumni company map

Create networking/alumni_map.json.

Search scope:

• University: {university}
• Majors: each value in {majors}
• Graduation year range: {graduation_year - 2} to {graduation_year}
• Location bias: Australia unless user asks otherwise

For each result, extract:

• name
• current_company
• current_role
• graduation_year if visible
• linkedin_url
• source_query

Deduplicate by linkedin_url; fallback to lowercase name + current_company if URL unavailable.

Output JSON:

{
  "generated_date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "university": "University of Melbourne",
  "majors": ["Computer Science", "Software Engineering"],
  "graduation_years": [2023, 2024, 2025],
  "total": 0,
  "by_company": {}
}

Then present the top companies by alumni count and ask which company the user wants to inspect.

--list [company]

Read networking/alumni_map.json. If missing, ask user to run /job-network --map first.

Show:

• company
• alumni count
• name
• current role
• graduation year if known
• contact status: untouched, drafted, sent, replied, meeting_scheduled, referred, no_reply

--reach {company}

Read networking/alumni_map.json, filter to the company, and show 3-5 best candidates.

For selected alumni:

1. Inspect profile context if available.
2. Draft a message with a real icebreaker.
3. Keep connection request under 300 characters; InMail/email under 500 words.
4. End with a light ask: advice, coffee chat, or a few questions. Do not directly demand a referral in the first message.

After drafting, ask whether to mark the contact as drafted in alumni_map.json.

If user says yes:

• Update the matching person in networking/alumni_map.json:
  • contacted: false
  • reply_status: drafted
  • last_message_summary: one sentence
• Add or update the matching record in {base_path}tracker.json under networking[]:
  • status: drafted
  • reply_status: not_sent
  • contacted_date: null
  • related_application_id: best matching application at same company if one exists, otherwise null
• Confirm: ✅ Outreach draft tracked → tracker.json networking[]

When user later says they sent, got a reply, scheduled a chat, or received a referral, update both:

• networking/alumni_map.json contact fields
• {base_path}tracker.json networking[] record

--prep {name}

Generate:

• 5 coffee chat questions
• 1 intro sentence
• 1 graceful referral ask for the end of the conversation
• 1 thank-you follow-up message

---

Module 12: Follow-up & Thank-you Emails

Triggered by /job-followup or when user says "send a follow-up", "write a thank-you", "follow up on my application", "14 days no response".

Two modes

Mode A — Follow-up after no response (applied / oa stage)

Trigger conditions:

• User asks to follow up on a specific application, OR
• /job-status detects an entry stale for 14+ days with status applied or oa

Steps:

1. Load tracker.json, find the application
2. Check days since applied_date — if < 7 days, advise waiting
3. Generate a short, professional follow-up email:
   • Subject: Following up — {role} application
   • Body: 3 sentences max — reference application, express continued interest, polite ask for update
   • Tone: confident, not apologetic
4. Present draft, ask user to confirm before sending
5. If user confirms sent: update next_step in tracker.json to "Awaiting response after follow-up"

Mode B — Thank-you after interview

Trigger conditions:

• User says "thank-you email", "send thanks after interview", or status just changed to interview / final_round

Steps:

1. Load tracker.json, find the application
2. Ask: "Who did you interview with? Any specific topics to reference?"
3. Generate thank-you email:
   • Subject: Thank you — {role} interview
   • Body: 4 sentences — thank interviewer by name, reference one specific topic from the interview, restate enthusiasm, close lightly
   • Tone: warm, specific, not generic
4. Present draft for user review — never send automatically
5. If user confirms sent: update next_step to "Thank-you sent, awaiting next steps"

Stale alert integration

When /job-status or startup greeting detects stale applications (14+ days, status applied or oa):

⚠️  {company} — {role}: applied {n} days ago, no update
    → Run /job-followup to draft a follow-up email

Output format

✉️  Follow-up draft — {company} · {role}

Subject: {subject}

{body}

Module 13: OA Preparation

Triggered by /job-oa or when user says "OA prep", "online assessment", "coding test", "HireVue", "psychometric", "aptitude test".

Step 1 — Detect OA Type from JD

Read the JD (from jd.md or pasted content). Identify signals:

OA Type	JD Signals
Coding	"HackerRank", "Codility", "LeetCode", "algorithms", "data structures", "take-home coding"
Video Interview	"HireVue", "Sonru", "video screening", "async interview", "recorded responses"
Psychometric	"aptitude", "numerical reasoning", "verbal reasoning", "abstract reasoning", "SHL", "Revelian", "Criteria Corp"
Case Study	"case study", "business case", "written analysis", "consulting", "strategy"
Work Simulation	"realistic job preview", "work sample", "situational judgement", "SJT"
Written Assessment	"written response", "policy brief", "analysis task", "essay"

If signals are ambiguous, ask: "Do you know what type of OA this is? (coding / video / psychometric / case study / other)"

Step 2 — Generate Prep Plan

Coding OA:

🖥️  Coding Assessment Prep — {company} · {role}

Predicted type: {platform if detectable, e.g. HackerRank}
Time limit: typically 60–90 min | 2–3 problems

Focus areas (based on JD):
  {extracted from JD — e.g. "arrays, hashmaps, SQL queries"}

This week's practice plan:
  Day 1–2  Easy problems — warm up on arrays, strings, loops
  Day 3–4  Medium problems — focus on {JD-specific topic}
  Day 5    Timed mock — simulate real conditions (no hints, timer on)

Recommended resources:
  LeetCode: leetcode.com (filter by company if premium)
  NeetCode 150: neetcode.io — curated list, free
  HackerRank practice: hackerrank.com/domains/algorithms

Tips:
  • Talk through your approach before coding
  • Handle edge cases: empty input, null, duplicates
  • Test with examples from the problem before submitting

Video Interview (HireVue / Sonru):

🎥  Video Interview Prep — {company} · {role}

Format: async — you record responses, no live interviewer
Typical structure: 3–5 questions, 30–90 sec prep, 1–3 min response

Common question types:
  • "Tell me about yourself" — 90 sec elevator pitch
  • "Why {company}?" — 2-3 specific reasons
  • "Tell me about a time you..." — STAR format
  • Situational: "What would you do if..." — use action-oriented language

Prep tips:
  • Record yourself once — watch it back, fix filler words
  • Look at the camera, not the screen
  • Good lighting + quiet background
  • Dress as you would for an in-person interview

5 practice questions for this role:
  {generate 5 STAR-style questions based on JD soft skill signals}

Psychometric / Aptitude:

📊  Psychometric Test Prep — {company} · {role}

Predicted platform: {SHL / Revelian / Criteria / unknown}
Sections typically included: numerical · verbal · abstract reasoning

Practice resources (free):
  SHL practice: shldirect.com/en/practice-tests
  Revelian: revelian.com/sample-tests
  JobTestPrep: jobtestprep.com.au (paid, worth it for Big 4 / banks)
  Assessment Day: assessmentday.co.uk/aptitudetests (free samples)

Tips:
  • Speed matters — don't dwell; mark and move
  • Numerical: calculator usually allowed; practise reading charts fast
  • Verbal: read the passage first, then the question
  • Abstract: look for rotation, reflection, number of shapes, colour patterns

Recommended daily practice: 20 min × 5 days before the test

Case Study:

📋  Case Study Prep — {company} · {role}

Format: written analysis, usually 1–3 hours, submitted as PDF or Word doc

Structure your response:
  1. Problem statement (2-3 sentences — what is the core issue?)
  2. Key findings (bullet points — data from the case)
  3. Options considered (2-3, with pros/cons)
  4. Recommendation (clear, justified, with implementation steps)
  5. Risks and mitigations

Tips:
  • Structure first, write second — spend 20% of time on outline
  • Use numbers wherever possible — be specific
  • Show you considered multiple options before recommending
  • Proofread — consulting firms penalise sloppy writing

Practice case: {suggest a free McKinsey / BCG / Deloitte sample case relevant to the industry}

Work Simulation / SJT:

🎯  Situational Judgement Prep — {company} · {role}

Format: scenario-based — pick the best/worst response from options
Measures: judgment, values alignment, professional behaviour

How to approach:
  • Think: "What would an ideal employee at this company do?"
  • Prioritise: safety → stakeholders → task completion → efficiency
  • Avoid: extreme responses, blame, ignoring others

Practice: jobtestprep.com.au/situational-judgement-tests

Step 3 — Deadline Alert

Check tracker.json for the application. If deadline is within 7 days:

⚠️  OA deadline in {n} days — {date}. Start prep today.

If interview_date is set, count backwards and flag if < 3 days of prep time remain.

Step 4 — Update Tracker

After generating prep plan, ask: "Want me to log this in your tracker as OA in progress?" If yes: update application status to oa, set next_step to "Complete OA by {deadline}".

General Guidelines

• Load config first — check ./config.yaml (project) then ~/.claude/skills/job-radar/config.yaml (global); never assume values
• Check for stale scan — before Module 1, check if today's scan already exists
• Respect exclude_companies — silently filter these from all scan results
• Apply work_type filter — always append work type to search queries unless any
• Use browse for JS-rendered boards — fall back to /browse when WebSearch returns 0 results from Seek or LinkedIn
• Never pad, never lie — honest gaps with scripted framing beat inflated CVs
• Adjacent framing ≠ lying — reframe real experience in JD language; fabricating is not allowed
• Save jd.md immediately — on every JD paste, before any analysis
• Bottom Line table is mandatory — every evaluation ends with fit score + verdict + dealbreaker
• Flag issues proactively — timeouts, blocked sources, zero results
• ATS-first always — exact JD phrases in CV and cover letter
• Adapt to {level} — intern ≠ senior; tone, structure, and depth all scale
• After every module — offer the logical next step
• Cite sources — direct links to listings always
• Deadlines — 🔴 anything closing within 7 days
