Job Processor

Orchestrate the complete job application workflow: JDs in -> cover letters & resumes generated -> files organized.

Pipeline

code

Input (Excel/Text/Direct)
  -> cover-letter-generator skill (curl triggers to n8n, 30s intervals)
  -> Wait for completion (~90s per job)
  -> Extract PDFs from Docker container via docker cp
  -> job-application-tracker skill (organize files + update Excel)

Input Formats

Excel File

Use cover-letter-generator skill's parse_input.py:

bash

python .claude/skills/cover-letter-generator/scripts/parse_input.py jobs.xlsx

Text File (structured)

code

COMPANY: Nokia
POSITION: Software Engineer Intern
JD:
Full job description...

---

COMPANY: Google
POSITION: Data Analyst
JD:
Another job description...

Direct Text Input

Parse company and position from the JD, create temp file, run pipeline.

Orchestration Steps

Step 1: Send JDs via cover-letter-generator

Invoke the cover-letter-generator skill to:

•Parse input file
•Compute globally unique keys via exp_lib/.next_key
•Trigger workflow for each JD via curl (30s interval)
•Wait for completion and extract PDFs from Docker via docker cp
•Generate batch_order_*.json in exp_lib/
•Update .next_key counter

Step 2: Verify Files

Confirm {key}-R.pdf and {key}-CL.pdf exist in exp_lib/ with non-zero size:

•Files are extracted from Docker by cover-letter-generator (Step 3.5)
•If any missing, check n8n_executions for errors

Step 3: Organize via job-application-tracker

Invoke the job-application-tracker skill to:

•Read order file
•Match files by key
•Move to dated folders with abbreviated names
•Update Excel tracker

Step 4: Report

Summarize:

•Jobs processed count
•File locations: cvs/resume and cover letters/YYYY-MM-DD/
•Excel tracker updated

Script (Legacy)

bash

# From Excel file
python scripts/process_jobs.py jobs.xlsx "Company Name"

# With custom wait time
python scripts/process_jobs.py jobs.xlsx "Company" --wait-per-job 150

Note: Script references old agent paths. Prefer using skill orchestration directly.

Expected Timing

Jobs	Send Time	Generation (~90s/job)	Total
1	0s	~90s	~2 min
5	2 min	~90s	~3.5 min
10	4.5 min	~90s	~6 min

Error Handling

•cover-letter-generator fails: Report error, do not proceed to tracker
•Files don't appear after timeout: Report partial completion, proceed with available files
•job-application-tracker fails: Report which jobs failed
