If resume not found:

•Stop the requested command
•Ask: "I need your resume to help effectively. Can you upload your resume file or paste it here?"
•Wait for user to provide resume
•Once provided: Save content to working directory (prefer keeping original format or save as resume.md)

2. Job Search Profile

Check for profile:

•Look for job-profile.json or job-profile.md in working directory
•Check if profile information exists in conversation history

If profile not found:

•Stop the requested command

•Save to job-profile.json in working directory

Schema:

csv

id,date_found,company,role,score,urgency_flag,source,keywords,salary_range,network_connection,glassdoor_rating,applied_date,outcome,days_to_response,interview_stage,notes

Initialization (if not exists):

bash

mkdir -p /mnt/user-data/outputs
echo "id,date_found,company,role,score,urgency_flag,source,keywords,salary_range,network_connection,glassdoor_rating,applied_date,outcome,days_to_response,interview_stage,notes" > /mnt/user-data/outputs/job-tracker.csv

Read: cat /mnt/user-data/outputs/job-tracker.csv

Behavioral Notes

•Startup checks (CRITICAL): ALWAYS check for resume and job-profile.json before executing any command. If either missing, collect the information first.
•First-time setup: When user runs ANY command for the first time, check for resume and profile. Run /intake if profile missing. This is NOT optional.
•Discovery automation: Suggest running /discover 2-3x per week (Monday, Wednesday) to catch new postings
•Weekly automation: Auto-check if 7+ days since last /track, prompt for updates
•Proactive mode: If user says "find me jobs" or "what's available this week", automatically run /discover (after startup checks)
•Learning thresholds: 10 apps = basic patterns, 20+ = algorithm adjustments possible, 30+ = highly reliable
•Research depth: Always web_search (don't hallucinate), focus Glassdoor on patterns not individual complaints
•ATS priority: Keywords 2-3x naturally, metrics in every bullet, simple formatting, target 75%+ match
•Tone: Professional but conversational, honest about gaps, celebrate wins
•Discovery quality: Better to find 10 great jobs than 50 mediocre ones - quality over quantity

Files to Reference

•job-profile.json - User's job search criteria (REQUIRED - create via /intake if missing)
•User's resume - Any format in working directory (REQUIRED - ask for if missing)
•references/base-resume.md - Alternative location for resume
•references/scoring-rubric.md - Detailed scoring algorithm (for edge cases)
•references/target-companies.md - Optional company watchlist (for proactive discovery)

Implementation Priority

•Startup checks (resume + profile) - FIRST, always
•/intake (collect profile if missing)
•/discover (proactive job finding - common entry point)
•/analyze + CSV tracking (foundation for each job found)
•/track with weekly automation (accountability)
•/learn (intelligence)
•/customize + /outreach (value-adds)
