What it does
Candidate Status is an agent skill from yc-software/recruiting. Look up the full status of a recruiting candidate by name. Cross-references Ashby, Gmail, Calendar, and Drafts to return a unified view. Use when the user asks "status of X", "where is X", "what's happening with X", or any variation of checking on a candidate.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Email management and Recruiting and HR. It works with Gmail and Slack.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks status of X
- Whats happening with X
- Any variation of checking on a candidate
Example prompts
- “status of X”
- “where is X”
- “s happening with X”
- “/candidate-status”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__google-workspace__calendar_get_events, mcp__gmail-drafts__gmail_list_drafts, mcp__ashby__candidate_search, mcp__ashby__candidate_info, mcp__ashby__application_info, mcp__ashby__application_feedback_list, mcp__ashby__interview_schedule_list, mcp__ashby__interview_event_list, mcp__waas__candidate_show, mcp__waas__candidate_status_show, mcp__waas__candidate_messages_list, mcp__waas__candidate_notes_list, Read, Bash
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Ashby lookup
- Ashby application detail
- Gmail — latest from candidate
- Gmail — latest from the hiring manager
- Gmail drafts check
- Calendar lookup
- WAAS lookup (if candidate has a short_id)
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:
mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emailsmcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_emailmcp__google-workspace__calendar_get_eventsmcp__gmail-drafts__gmail_list_draftsmcp__ashby__candidate_searchmcp__ashby__candidate_infomcp__ashby__application_infomcp__ashby__application_feedback_listmcp__ashby__interview_schedule_listmcp__ashby__interview_event_list
…and 6 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 Status loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 643 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.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__google-works
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 643 words (~1,843 tokens).
