What it does
Recruit is an agent skill from yc-software/recruiting. Recruiting co-pilot for the hiring manager. Scans Gmail, Calendar, and Ashby to build a unified view of candidates, draft emails, schedule interviews, and triage the inbox. Use when the user says "recruit", "candidates", "scheduling", "inbox", "who's waiting", or any variation of managing the hiring pipeline.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Email management, Recruiting and HR and Email writing. It works with Gmail and Slack.
When your agent uses it
- The user says recruit
- Any variation of managing the hiring pipeline
Example prompts
- “recruit”
- “candidates”
- “scheduling”
- “/recruit”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Skill, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_email, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_bulk_get_emails, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_archive, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_bulk_archive, mcp__google-workspace__calendar_get_events, mcp__google-workspace__calendar_create_event, mcp__google-workspace__calendar_list, mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__gmail_create_draft, mcp__gmail-drafts__gmail_send_draft, mcp__gmail-drafts__gmail_list_drafts, mcp__gmail-drafts__gmail_delete_draft, mcp__ashby__candidate_search, mcp__ashby__candidate_info, mcp__ashby__candidate_create_note, mcp__ashby__application_info, mcp__ashby__application_list, mcp__ashby__application_change_stage
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read .coding-agent-plans/recruiting-assistant.md
- Run /pipeline to show what needs attention
- Follow the Interaction Loop from the playbook
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:
BashReadWriteEditGrepGlobSkillmcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emailsmcp__google-workspace__gmail_get_emailmcp__google-workspace__gmail_bulk_get_emails
…and 15 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
Recruit loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,065 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: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Skill, mcp__google-workspace__gmail_query_emails, mcp__google-w
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 1,065 words (~2,339 tokens).
