What it does
Candidate Brief is an agent skill from yc-software/recruiting. Generate a quick one-paragraph brief on a candidate by pulling from all available sources. Replaces opening LinkedIn, Ashby, and email tabs. Use when the user asks "who is this person", "tell me about X", "brief me on X", or is triaging candidates and needs context fast.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. It works with LinkedIn.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks who is this person
- Tell me about X
- Is triaging candidates and needs context fast
Example prompts
- “who is this person”
- “tell me about X”
- “brief me on X”
- “/candidate-brief”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, mcp__ashby__candidate_search, mcp__ashby__candidate_info, mcp__ashby__application_info, mcp__ashby__candidate_list_notes, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__waas__candidate_show, mcp__waas__candidate_status_show, mcp__waas__candidate_notes_list
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Ashby profile
- Ashby application
- Ashby notes
- Email thread context
- WAAS notes (if short_id available)
- LinkedIn URL
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2d6543. 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:
BashReadmcp__ashby__candidate_searchmcp__ashby__candidate_infomcp__ashby__application_infomcp__ashby__candidate_list_notesmcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emailsmcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_emailmcp__waas__candidate_showmcp__waas__candidate_status_show
…and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.
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
Candidate Brief loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 344 words (~1,055 tokens).
“Generate a quick contextual brief on a candidate so the hiring manager can recall and calibrate without opening 5 tabs.”
