What it does
Apply is an agent skill from andrew-shwetzer/career-ops-plugin-do-not-fork-currently-updating-v2-. Help fill out a job application form. Generates personalized answers for every field using your profile and evaluation. Never auto-submits. Use when someone says 'help me apply', 'fill out this application', or 'application for'.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Job search and resumes and Resume and CV writing. The repository describes itself as: Claude Cowork plugin for job seekers. 9 AI skills: evaluate job postings, generate ATS-optimized resumes, scan company career portals, track applications, draft outreach. Works… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Someone says help me apply
- Fill out this application
- Application for
Example prompts
- “help me apply”
- “fill out this application”
- “application for”
- “/apply”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, WebFetch
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae447d7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteGlobWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Apply loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 611 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Application Form Assistant
Help fill out job application forms with personalized, honest answers.
CRITICAL: NEVER auto-submit an application. Always show the user every answer and get explicit confirmation before any form interaction. Always stop before any submit button.
Step 0: Load Context
- Read
data/profile.ymlfor structured background - Read
data/resume.mdfor full resume text - Find the relevant evaluation in
data/evaluations/ - Check
data/research/{company}.mdfor company intel - Check
data/resumes/for a tailored resume file
If no evaluation exists for this company:
"I haven't evaluated this role yet. Want me to evaluate the posting first? That gives me better context for your application answers."
Step 1: Identify the Application
Parse user input:
- Company/role name: Find the matching evaluation
- "Help me with this application": Ask which company/role, or if computer use is available, take a screenshot to identify the form
Step 2: Map Common Form Fields
Generate answers for standard application fields:
| Field | Source | How to Fill |
|---|---|---|
| Name / Email / Phone | profile.yml | Direct copy |
| Resume upload | Point to file | "Upload data/resumes/{file}.html (or PDF if you printed it)" |
| Cover letter | Generate below | Tailored to this role |
| "Why this company?" | Research + evaluation | Specific, referencing company details |
| "Why this role?" | Evaluation Block C + narrative | Connect background to role requirements |
| Years of experience | profile.yml | Honest number |
| Salary expectations | Evaluation Block D | Use target from profile, informed by market data |
| Work authorization | profile.yml visa_status | Direct answer |
| Willing to relocate | profile.yml work_preference | Direct answer |
| Start date | Ask user | "When can you start?" |
Step 3: Cover Letter (when needed)
Structure:
- Opening: Specific hook about the company (NOT "I'm excited to apply")
- Bridge: How your specific background connects to their specific need
- Evidence: 2-3 concrete accomplishments from your experience relevant to this role
- Close: Forward-looking, confident but not presumptuous
Rules:
- 250-350 words
- Match JD language and keywords
- Match company tone (formal for law firms, conversational for startups)
- Reference specific details from research (if available)
- Every claim must be backed by real experience from the profile
Show full SKILL.md (281 more words)Show less
Step 4: Handle Custom Questions
For each custom application question:
Short answer (< 500 chars):
- Draw from evaluation blocks, profile, or research
- Be specific, not generic
- Include a number or concrete detail when possible
"Tell me about a time..." (behavioral):
- Use STAR format from evaluation Block F stories
- Match the most relevant story to the question
"What are your salary expectations?":
- Use target from profile, informed by Block D market data
- If range requested, give profile target range
- If single number requested, give midpoint of target range
Yes/No questions (authorization, relocation, etc.):
- Answer directly from profile data
- If not in profile, ask the user
EEO / demographic questions:
- Tell the user these are optional and legally cannot affect their candidacy
- Let them answer themselves
Step 5: Present All Answers
Show EVERY generated answer before any action:
## Application Answers: {Company} - {Role}
**Cover letter:**
{full text}
**"Why this company?"**
{answer}
**"Why this role?"**
{answer}
**Salary expectations:** {answer}
**Custom questions:**
1. "{question}" - {answer}
2. "{question}" - {answer}
---
Review these answers. You can:
- Ask me to revise any answer
- Copy them into the application form
- Tell me to adjust the toneStep 6: Computer Use Assistance (only if available and user requests)
If computer use is available AND the user explicitly asks for help filling the form:
- Navigate to the application page
- Fill each field with the APPROVED answers only
- Upload resume file if the form accepts it
- STOP before the Submit button. Take a screenshot. Say:
"Everything is filled in. Please review the form carefully and click Submit when you're ready. I won't click it for you."
If no computer use:
"Copy the answers above into the application form. Let me know when you've submitted and I'll update your tracker."
Step 7: Update Tracker
After the user confirms submission:
- Update
data/applications.md: Status -> "Applied", Date Applied -> today - Add note with any relevant details
"Tracked! Your application to {company} is logged. I'll remind you to follow up if you haven't heard back in a week."
