What it does
Career Routines is an agent skill from Zal4DW/career-helper. Use when the user wants parts of their job search to run on a schedule, or asks about routines they already have, such as putting the weekly update on a Cowork schedule, setting up narrower recurring tasks, or working out why a scheduled task did not run. Explains when a task runs in the cloud and when it needs their computer.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cowork-scheduling.md`, `references/routine-library.md` and `references/routines-register-template.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks, Internal communications and Job search and resumes. The repository describes itself as: A career helper skill for claude (desktop/web/code).
When your agent uses it
- The user wants parts of their job search to run on a schedule
- Asks about routines they already have
- Such as putting the weekly update on a Cowork schedule
- Setting up narrower recurring tasks
Example prompts
- “/career-routines”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Set Up a Routine
- Routine Library
- Review Your Routines
- Outside Cowork
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c19cefe. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
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
Career Routines loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,573 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,573 words (~2,756 tokens).
“Put the recurring parts of your job search on a schedule, so the tracker, follow-ups, and market map keep themselves current between sessions.”
