Create Application Package

<instructions>

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

</instructions> <workflow>

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.
    • CRITICAL: Set status to "Ready to Apply".
    • CRITICAL: Set Applied Date to "Pending".
    • Do NOT mark as "Applied" or "Sent" until the user explicitly confirms submission.
  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.
